In the 1930s, radiologist Carl Tanzler left his family for a young woman. A woman who he believed was a vision he had been seeing since childhood. Sadly, at 21 years old, Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos was dying from tuberculosis.
After death, what Tanzler done to her body is something out of a horror movie. What is even more disturbing is how long this went on without anyone noticing.

We're back as promised with part 2.
Angel Maturino Resendiz, nicknamed "The Railroad Killer," instilled panic and fear in railroad towns across the United States in the late 1990s. At the time of his arrest, Resendiz was suspected in nine slayings near railroad tracks in Texas, Kentucky and Illinois. He would confess to many more before his execution. By illegally jumping on and off trains within and across Mexico, Canada, and the United States, generally crossing borders illegally, Reséndiz was able to evade authorities for a considerable time.
