Carl Tanzler was a successful radiology technologist in Florida when he met Maria Elena "Helen" Milagro de Hoyos, a patient suffering from tuberculosis. Carl became obsessed with Helen to the point where, even after she died, he attempted to maintain a relationship with her by removing her body from her grave, mummifying it and living with it for 2 years before he was eventually discovered. Savannah details this chance encounter and sheds some light as to what may have led Carl to defiling Helen's body and the manipulative techniques he used on the family to keep it hidden from them for several years.Download Fetch now and use code KILLER and get 4000 points on your first receipt! →https://fetch.thld.co/killerinstinct3 Save 30% on Select Solid Gold Products by going to SOLIDGOLDPET.COM/KILLER!Listen to the story of George and Lisa Revelle on the Generation Why Podcast from Wondery on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or listen ad-free by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app!When you purchase of a 3-month Babbel subscription, you’ll get an additional 3 months for FREE!
