Summary

Carl Tanzler was a successful radiology technologist in Florida when he met Maria Elena "Helen" Milagro de Hoyos, a patient suffering from tuberculosis. Carl became obsessed with Helen to the point where, even after she died, he attempted to maintain a relationship with her by removing her body from her grave, mummifying it and living with it for 2 years before he was eventually discovered. Savannah details this chance encounter and sheds some light as to what may have led Carl to defiling Helen's body and the manipulative techniques he used on the family to keep it hidden from them for several years.
