Episode 74: A Snack of Leftovers

Send us a text

On December 15, 2011, in the beautiful seemingly small town of Bridgeport, Connecticut, 35 -year-old Tyree Smith hacked a homeless Angel "Tun Tun" Gonzalez, to death with an ax in an abandoned apartment building. He then removed part of Gonzalez’s brain and one of his eyes, placing the organs safely in his backpack and walked to a nearby cemetery. While Tyree stood over one of his family members’ graves, he snacked on pieces of brain and the lone eyeball he had brought with him. Since childhood, Tyree had suffered with mental illness and in fact sought mental health treatment a few years before committing the murder after he had begun hearing voices. So, was this a sinister mind who committed a cannibalistic murder or a man that was mentally unwell and America’s health care system, along with society had let him slip through the cracks.
