Episode 46 - Maxwell Garvie: What’s Love Got to Do With It?

Episode 48 - Tom DiBartolo: Murder in the Park

Marriage and children had never gotten in the way of Tom DiBartolo doing what he wanted, and what he wanted was to flout his position as a Spokane County deputy and have sex with his various mistresses. It had always been easy; his wife, Patty, took care of the house and the kids and he slept with whomever he wanted, knowing enough to tell the women what they wanted to hear. Recently though, things had changed. Patty was threatening divorce and there was no way he could pay child support for his five kids and have enough money left for himself.

Episode 47 - Count Carl von Cosel: Corpse Preservation 101

Count Carl von Cosel believed he had met his soulmate when he laid eyes on Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos in 1930. From the start, though, their romance had its share of problems. First, they were both already married, but Carl could easily pretend neither of their spouses existed. Second, Elena had been diagnosed with the then-fatal prognosis of tuberculosis, but even after she died, Carl wasn’t deterred. He simply stole her corpse, made it suitable for cohabitation, and lived with her body for the next seven years until his shocking secret was discovered.

Episode 46 - Maxwell Garvie: What’s Love Got to Do With It?

When sheltered Sheila Watson met wealthy, man-about-town Maxwell Garvie, she was besotted. Their courtship was fast, with marriage and children following quickly. People in town believed the Garvies had an enviable life, but, as we know all too well, looks can be deceiving.  Max was ready to embrace everything the Swinging Sixties had to offer, and he was hell-bent on dragging Sheila along with him. Max thought opening up their marriage would make his wife both a better lover and more interested in sex. How was he to know that introducing her to Brian Tevendale would bring about his demise?

Episode 45 - Graham Young: Part Two: A Teacup Full of Thallium

Now that Graham Young was working at John Hadland Laboratories, his victim pool had expanded. Out of the nearly 70 members of staff to catch the so-called “Bovingdon Bug,” two would never recover: Bob Egle and Fred Biggs. Even after Graham had been arrested, an event he hastened along in once again showing off his troubling toxicological expertise, he was sure he’d be acquitted, but that was before the jury heard that traces of thallium had been found in both sets of remains, not to mention Graham’s disturbingly detailed diary entries. Also, a shout-out to Karamo from Queer Eye who we didn’t mention in the beginning!
