Maria Elena Milagro De Hoyos, The Unwilling Corpse Bride With Special Guest Rachel O'Brien

Maria Elena Milagro De Hoyos, known as Elena, walked into a Key West hospital suffering from a fatal infection of tuberculosis. Instead of a cure, she found a radiologist named Karl Tanzler who instantly became obsessed with her. Although the affections were one sided, when Elena passed away a couple of months later, Karl just couldn't let his soulmate go. What he did next is unthinkable, and he never really paid a price for it.

Join Ash, Alaina and special guest, comedian Rachel O'brien, as we dig deep into Karl's crazy world.

Check out Rachel's pod/comedy! And make sure to watch out for her new upcoming podcast Seven Deadly Sinners!
