dealt with the strange case of Carl Von Cosel, the radiologist that took the corpse of his "soulmate", Elena Hoyos, to his home and kept her for 7 years???
Thanks!

I think I have seen roughly 90% of the cases that have been shown on Unsolved Mysteries but I never recall seeing a case that involved that.

I wasn't sure if they ever did a story on it...it wasn't exactly a "mystery", but heavens it was weird!!!
There is some info about it on the HBO "Autopsy" site...I might've heard about it on the old Ripley's Believe It Or Not show in the 80's with Jack Palance. If anyone finds any extra info on this topic, et me know, please! Thanx!

They did a whole detailed segment on this on Autopsy on HBO. I hope this helps.

I'd love to see more of the autopsy photos. I have seen the few pix on the HBO website, but I don't get HBO on TV so I'm not able to get more info. I read the book "Undying Love" by Ben Harrison, a Key West attorney, but they led to a few questions that are not really addressed in the book...It was a totally gross case and I guess I have a morbid curiosity...SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He kept her body for seven years?! Man, that's creepy! :eek:

Oh yes!!! Creepy....especially when you realize that he "consummated" their "marriage" after her "resurrection"!!!! Man, if you wanna read about it, go to:

The story as told on this particular site is not totally accurate, but it is close...the photos will REALLY getcha!!!:crazy:

Man, that's messed up. This guy needed serious help. :(

Ugh...nasty

One of the sickest things I've ever read, reminds me of the German exploitation film Necromantik.
