You know that quiet guy who is weirdly obsessed with cemeteries, collects giant dolls, and lives an a smelly apartment, but otherwise seems pretty harmless? Well, he's the subject of today's episode! Meet Anatoly Moskvin: the mild mannered intellectual who lived a quiet life with his parents, but harbored a gruesome secret.

Also, why you should call Katy for all your grave robbing needs, and how distinguish decomposing body stink from regular Russian apartment stink.

This one is disturbing on more than one level, and gets into the complexities of mental illness and sincerity vs. ignorance. Make sure you've got a drink in hand!
