Dr. Robert Knox Mar 15, 2025

Show notes

Episode 53 Dr. Robert Knox

The anatomy labs at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland had a difficult time procuring cadavers in the 1820s. Laws at the time limited professors to only obtaining the bodies of criminals sentenced to death, leading educators to take desperate measures in order to obtain specimens for their classes. These included paying 'body-snatchers' to dig up the recently deceased or, in the unfortunate case of Dr. Robert Knox, unknowingly accepting the bodies of murdered citizens.

Introducing: Killer Communications Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

Introducing: Killer Communications

AbJack Entertainment, the same network that brings you new episodes of Campus Killings every 2 weeks, has a brand new show launching March 1,2025. It's called Killer Communications, and it's hosted by Mike Morford. In each episode of Killer Communications, Mike discusses a true crime case where one of the clues is a mysterious form of contact; whether it's a frightening phone call to a victim, a mysterious email to the press, or a taunting letter sent to the press, these bizarre communications happen more often than you might think, and sometimes have deadly consequences.

In this short preview of Killer Communications, Season 1 Episode 1, you'll hear about the case of Dale Williams, a father and husband, who was lured from the Nucla, Colorado body shop he owned by a mysterious caller in 1999. He was never seen again. His abandoned truck was found submerged in a local waterway, but there was never any sign of Dale himself. Despite an ex-friend of Dale's being a longtime suspect in the case, police were never able to make an arrest. But that all changed in 2024 when an arrest and answers finally came.

After you listen to this preview of Killer Communications, head over to your favorite podcast app, and be sure to subscribe to Killer Communications, so you can hear the full episode on Dale Williams, and catch every new episode of Killer Communications.

Visit the Killer Communications homepage for news about the show, and past episodes.
