Due to the graphic nature of this killer's crimes, listener discretion is advised.

This episode features graphic descriptions of the effects of starvation that some people

may find disturbing.

Extreme caution is advised, especially for children under 13.

43-year-old Linda Hazard watched the sunset with one of her patients, 37-year-old Dora

Williamson.

Linda reckoned Dora weighed about 70 pounds thanks to the extreme fast that Linda had prescribed.

By any measure, Dora should have been dead by now, but this woman turned out to be stronger

and more attached to life than Linda had expected.

Linda thought that maybe Dora just needed a little nudge, so she pointed to a deep ravine

off in the distance and mentioned that one of her former patients had attempted suicide

by throwing themselves off the edge of it.

In a honeyed voice, Linda asked Dora if perhaps she was considering doing the same.

After all, she thought death is inevitable, and surely for Dora, it was only a matter

of time.
