Episode description

In the 1800s, Ohio was a hotbed for grave robbers, especially in the southwest where more than a dozen medical schools were in desperate need of cadavers for anatomy class. This episode features three stories: The infamous bodysnatcher William Cunningham; Ohio inventors who tried to thwart them; and men willing to kill a family just to sell their corpses. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: The Devil You Know, by Wheeling Jjin.
