This week we cover the killer mortician, Bernie Tiede! Famously portrayed by Jack Black in the film "Bernie", the real-life case is not as comedic as it seems on screen. After befriending an elderly widow, Tiede slowly began to cut her off from friends and family until he became the sole beneficiary of her multi-million dollar estate. After killing her and putting her body in the freezer, he continued to live as if she were still alive. We talk about Tiede's sad past, the murder, and the impact the 2011 movie had on the case.
