The Misery Machine

Join Drewby and Yergy as we discuss the Capuchin Catacombs, a 16th century ossuary in southern Italy meant to house the remains of priests and friars, which has become something of a morbid tourist attraction, and the home to the world's most beautiful mummy, Rosalia Lombardo.

One of Hong Kong's very few murder cases that gained national attention took place between two American expatriates, one of those being a Merrill Lynch investment banker (Robert Peter Kissel), a bored housewife, and an uncommon instrument to commit the murder.

Lam Kor-wan, Hong Kong's first known serial killer, worked as a taxi driver, which conveniently allowed him to pick up female passengers, strangle them with electrical wire, take them to his family home, and dismember them. Lam's English moniker, "The Jars Murderer", was coined after the police revealed that he had kept sexual organs in Tupperware locked away in a metal ammunition container under his bed.

Michael Alig was an American club promoter and convicted felon. He was the self proclaimed "King of the Club Kids," a group of young New York City clubgoers who became a cultural phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s through their flamboyant costumes and their excessive use of party drugs. In March 1996, Alig and his roommate, Robert D. "Freeze" Riggs, killed fellow Club Kid Andre "Angel" Melendez in a confrontation over amongst other things, a delinquent drug debt. The pair then dismembered the body and disposed of Melendez's remains in the Hudson River, where they were later discovered by children playing on a beach in Staten Island.

Lisa Montgomery took the life of Bobbie Jo Stinnett a 23-year-old mother in what seemed like an absolutely random and senseless act. She received the death penalty in October 26th, 2007, and a judge upheld the jury recommendation on April 4, 2008. She is set to be put to death on January 12th, 2021, making her the first woman to receive this on the federal level since 1953. So does Lisa Montgomery deserve the death penalty or should she be commuted to life without parole? Let us know what you think in the comment sections.

Samuel Little, arguably the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, died at a Los Angeles County hospital on Wednesday. He was 80 years old, and had operated undetected for decades, primarily because he primarily targeted poor people of color and people who were estranged from their families.
