This is an incident with no historic parallels and one that might represent the most horrific fortnight ever suffered by a population. This is a story of how blind nationalism can devour the better angels of our nature and leave us only to the encouragement of our demons. This is the story of r**e, torment, and massacre in Nanking....

For more than a decade, a man named Shawn Parcells has been performing autopsies throughout the midwest. Unfortunately, he has been doing so with no qualifications or credentials. How could this happen? Why was a man with no credentials allowed to prod the interiors of thousands of human remains? Listen and find out....

Have you ever ripped apart a deceased infant with your own two hands? Have you ever stored a human brain next to the frozen broccoli in your refrigerator? Can you differentiate between the smell of common road kill and the pungent and unique odor of a decomposing human body? Have you ever removed maggots from human remains, covered them in acrylic paint, and then allowed those universally reviled larvae to crawl about a canvas unknowingly and unwittingly creating something that could be described as art? Our new cohost has....

Lately, we’ve been generally negligent with everything podcast related. Suffice it to say, s**t’s been hectic and weird for the whole WITL team. We are trying to get our lives together enough to put out a new episode, and rest assured that Kevin is researching something particularly awful for the next one. In the meantime, enjoy some of the stuff Kevin has said as inspirational posters. Let us know if you like these; maybe we will keep making them or get some poster prints for people to order or something.

Sometimes folks will recommend their favorite depraved stories for the show. We love all the disturbing s**t you send us, but sometimes we just can’t make a case work for a full episode. All these suggestions, and a lot of our own failed topic ideas, end up in our episode reject pile, and honestly, some of them are just too good not to share with you anyway.

This week’s reject is a timeless tale of devotion, grief, and undying love (literally). There’s a lot to this story, but we don’t plan to make it a full episode because it’s been covered by tons of other sources, and we can’t find anything original to say about it. All the same, it’s a good one. It’s got everything you could ever want in a love story: a beautiful heroine, a terminal illness,
and a creepy old man who turned his true love’s co**se into a mummified s*x doll.

IIn short, Carl Tanzler (53 years old) fell in love with Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos (19 years old), s*xually harassed her while she died of tuberculosis, stole her co**se and turned her into a mummified s*x doll. He got caught after he’d kept her decaying co**se in his home for nearly a decade but was released by a sympathetic judge who either felt sorry for him or thought the whole thing was romantic. Seriously, a bunch of people thought this hot mess was a testament to true love.

Just about every big true crime podcast has covered this story, so if you want all the disturbing
details, you can find it on , , , ,
, and a bunch of others. It’s been featured in a whole
bunch of news publications, and there’s a book about it called: Undying Love: The True Story of a Passion that Defied Death by Ben Harrison. If you’ve never looked into the case of Carl Tanzler, it’s well worth it. If you know of other podcasts, books, or articles about this story, feel
free to comment below and share them with us. Please keep your new episode
recommendations coming. We love getting them, and if we can do a story justice or say
something original about it, we will.

Drawings of a baby with Hydrocephalus from Robert Liston’s “Elements of Surgery,” published in 1840. Someone (cough, cough Liston) stole this baby’s co**se from his grave by tricking the grave watchers into abandoning their post. Soon after the co**se was stolen, Liston published his book with woodcuts of a baby with Hydrocephalus that bore a remarkable resemblance to the one stolen by unnamed grave robber.

Ep.37: Redeeming Robert Liston or: The One with Rachel from Hollywood Crime Scene

As a consumer of macabre and grotesque media, you the listener may believe yourself to be already acquainted with the story of Robert Liston. Thousands of websites, podcasts, and even peer reviewed academic journals and publications have recounted the fantastic story of an operation performed by Robert Liston which resulted in the deaths of not only his patient, but also of his surgical assistant and a bystander. The story goes that in his efforts to expedite as much as possible the process of amputating his patient’s leg, that Liston accidentally removed 2 fingers from his assistant, and whilst flourishing his knife about also nicked the coat of an observer. The patient died on the operating table, the man whose coat was slashed died of a heart attack, and the assistant died some time later after the remaining stumps of his fingers became gangrenous.

This story has been recounted hundreds of times, each telling inevitably concluding with the clever summation that this was the only surgery in recorded history with a 300% mortality rate.

If this is the story that you are hoping to hear, you might soon be disappointed. That disappointment stemming from the fact the aforementioned and often repeated story of surgical buffoonery never happened.

Robert Liston was however an extremely interesting character and one whose true story is filled not only with blood and questionable ethics in those agonizing years before anesthesia, but also with accomplishment and achievement.

So, how did everyone except Where is the Line? Get this man’s story so terribly wrong? How do I know that everyone except Where is the Line? Is wrong? Who really was Robert Liston and what might it have been like to go under his knife during the age of agony? Find out on this episode of Where is the Line?

Episode 36 is out!

Occasionally, a mistake can change the course of history and even distort the face of the earth. When the Khwarazmian Shaw humiliated and killed a couple of Mongolian trade emissaries, he arguably made one of the most consequential mistakes in all of human history. This mistake would lead to the deaths of millions. Borders would be redrawn. Family lines would end. Entire cities and cultures would disappear, and the Khwarazmian Empire would fall.
