The Dollmaker of Death

You think you are looking at a doll? Look closer. That is a real human body.

Meet Carl Tanzler, the man who stole his dead patient to live with her. For seven years,

he slept next to her decaying body, but nature started taking over, so he fixed her.

Piano wire for bones, silk for skin, and rags to fill her chest. He even made a wig

from her real hair. She became a human doll, but he got sloppy. Neighbours saw him

dancing with the body through an open window. Police raided the house.

They took him. But here's the part that will make your blood boil. He walked free.

The statute of limitations was two years. He hid her for seven, so the law couldn't touch him.
