Stories from the Mortuary (Aolani Santiago)

After three gunshots ring out in the night, police wheel away an unknown man. He goes unclaimed for some time before crowds shout in protest. How could this man have gone unidentified for so long? Everyone knew him. Everyone loved him.

Jennifer Lee Daugherty never had a difficult time making friends. Her disability gave her the intellectual capacity of a teenager, but she was working towards moving into her own apartment with the help of her parents. When she boards the bus to Greensburg on February 8th, 2010, a regularly scheduled sleepover with her friend ends with a horrific twist.

The Wendigo is known to be a creature of indigenous folklore, but the psychosis that creates cannibals out of starvation victims has caused real deaths. The Donner Party wasn't the only group that fell on hard times during a challenging winter.

This week's episode is in honor of Asian American and Pacific Heritage month. Our story takes in place in the year 1999--Hong Kong, China. When a 14 year-old girl tells police she's been haunted by the ghost of a woman, she isn't taken seriously. That is, until she brings police to a tenement at No. 31 Granville Road and they witness the aftermath of the horrors that took place inside.

September 29th, 1935 started off like any other day--but a grisly discovery in a ravine raised many questions. How many victims were there? Who were the victims? Who would go to such great lengths to mutilate corpses and why? It would take some of the greatest scientists to solve this puzzle.

The discovery of the mutilated body of an intellectually disabled mother began a journey into madness that is so unbelievable, it's difficult to fathom how the real mastermind behind the crime ultimately got away with murder. The systems in place meant to protect this young woman failed--but how many people could possibly know about abuse without reporting it?

World War II was horrific for all parties involved, especially those killed in the name of science. While Josef Mengele performed sickening experiments in concentration camps, another equally twisted man named Shiro Ishii conducted his own vile research in the Pacific Theater.

"Nearly one in every three women is raped during her service and more than half experience unwanted sexual contact." When a 19 year-old private is found with a gunshot wound to the head, the Army alleged it was self-inflicted. But what about the broken nose, missing teeth, and chemical burns?

When it comes to fast food murders, Burger Chef is often the first to come to mind. But in May of 2000, a Wendy's in Queens, NY saw a robbery gone horrifyingly wrong. When police arrived at the restaurant and entered the downstairs freezer, they witnessed a brutal crime scene that would forever burn into their memories.

"Man With a Van: Road Rage"

Happy October! To kick off the spookiest of seasons, this week's story is gruesome enough to be a horror movie--and in 1978 it became just that. The "Toolbox Murders" were just as gut-wrenching as they sound.

Crematories and funeral homes are meant to be trusted, but what happens when that trust is horribly and grotesquely broken? This week we're discussing Georgia's Tri-State Crematory scandal and how it led to a massive reform in the funeral industry.

A random act of brutality changes a small Illinois town forever when the case turns cold. But cold cases mean that someone out there knows something, even if the police don't. Death follows a man named Michael Gargiulo where he goes--but is he guilty, or just unlucky?

Ruthie lived in a Chicago housing project, so when she called the police on April 22nd, 1987 there was no rush to arrive at the scene. What could she have possibly meant when she said "they threw the cabinet down"?

He was a mortician. She was a widow. Can I make it anymore obvious? Bernie Tiede was the nicest man in town, but he kept the company of the most hated woman in East Texas--Marjorie Nugent. This story is so peculiar it didn't take long to spawn the dark comedy "Bernie".

Happy Pride Month! To start this month off right I decided to re-release an episode from my YouTube channel. This is just a little bonus and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming on this upcoming Mortuary Monday!
