This week, Jess is covering the case of 1800's Scotland's BODYSNATCHERS, aka Resurrection Men. When medical schools are low on cadavers for their anatomy and dissection labs, our story's two villains - Burke and Hare take grave-robbing to the next level and begin murdering Scottish townspeople to fill the doctors' needs. We hope you love this medical true crime story as much as we do!
