Thanks for another wonderful podcast!!! and I would also like to send a special thanks to Robert and Dr. Tumosa- I was lucky enough to be in Baltimore for Rippercon, and this is an added bonus!!!

Great work as always!

Might Dr Tumosa's "most bizarre case" be placed in transcript here or would that be indiscreet?

[jmenges]

He requested that Robert turn off his recording device before he told of his worst case so I'm afraid there's no way to make a transcript.
As I said on the podcast I do hope to have him on as a guest but I seriously doubt he'd delve into that tale given its extremely graphic nature.

I for one hope you can get Dr Tumosa for the show... he is a fascinating man and a great speaker...would love to know more about his work at the Smithsonian

Very interesting as normal.

Thanks for this useful and interesting follow up to the Baltimore Rippercon talk. Just one small criticism, if I may: "hyoid" is properly pronounced to rhyme with "typhoid". Anderson always says "hyODE"! I know it's a minor point, but it's good to get the lingo right when you're talking forensics- and talking forensics to medical examiners and audiences makes it doubly important. Cheers!

There one giant myth about this case that is constantly repeated which is that the killer asked the victims to leave their cellphones behind. Two of the victims brought their phones, one of the victims left her phone because she was sharing it with another escort and the girl needed it to arrange a date, and one victim inexplicably left her phone AND purse behind. This was Megan Waterman who got a call from her pimp Akeem Cruz and then left the hotel shortly after and was seen on camera walking down the street. There is no charming John who disarms the girls into "breaking protocol" and leaving their phones. Too many myths are incorrectly repeated about this case too often
