Join us this week as we explore three *deliciously* interesting cases of cannibalism. Rebecca starts us off with the case of Armin "the Master butcher" Meiwes, who found his willing victim on the internet; Journey dives into the cultural history of cannibalism in the Wari' Tribe, who practised cannibalism for cultural reasons; and Nicole ends the episode with the chilling crimes of Albert Fish, who targeted and ate children. 

Today's episode is a little different than most as we do not discuss a forensic topic, but the forensic discussions will resume next episode! The topic of cannibalism can be quite gruesome at times and is not for the faint of heart.

We would also like to make a note that at times you may hear us giggling. We mean no disrespect and recognize the negative impact these crimes have had on their victims and their families. As humans, we sometimes cope with uncomfortable discussions with inappropriate giggles. We apologize in advance.

Ever taken a Greyhound Bus? Will you want to after listening to this episode? Join us while we discuss Vince Li who was found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder for murdering and eating his victim. 
Bear with us this episode as Nicole's audio sounds like she's calling through on the radio (i.e., not amazing) and there are some wifi glitches. We are working to fix these issues! Hopefully, the next episode will be much better.  (Also when Nicole says fRMI she means fMRI).
Thank you all for your support!
