Timesuck with Dan Cummins ·

2024/07/15

Between 1968 and 1985, eight couples having sex in either parked vehicles or a tent in remote areas just outside of Florence, Italy were murdered. The killer shot them with the same .22 handgun. And from four of the women, the killer took a brutal trophy.... their vagina. As morbidly fascinating and troubling as these crimes are, the inept, corrupt, and superstitious investigation into catching the killer is even more troubling and fascinating.

Short Suck #9 - The US Human Body Trade

Timesuck with Dan Cummins ·

2024/05/10

What happens to your body when it is donated to science? Does it actually end up in front of some doctor or medical student? Not necessarily. Sometimes it ends up being sold by nefarious body brokers to be used for explosive detonation testing or to add to the collection of some weirdo who just likes dead bodies. What happens to corpses in the US is not nearly as regulated as you probably think. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_Wem61jufrQFor Merch and everything else Bad Magic related,
