Hello and welcome back! In today’s episode, we discuss the case of Burke & Hare. Falling on desperate times, two friends, William Burke and William Hare, embark on a dark descent of lies, greed, and murder. In 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Burke & Hare would complete the murders of 17 people, selling their bodies to medical schools for a profit during a time that bodies were needed to further the study of human anatomy. As their body count grew, along with their lust for achieving a higher lifestyle, their evil plot would soon unravel, revealing just how far some people are willing to go for the sake of money. Hang on, friends. This one’s a doozy.
