We are revisiting the wild and unforgettable story of Michael Mastromarino, a former dentist and oral surgeon turned "body snatcher". This unusual true crime story, which made national headlines in 2005, exposes a horrific black market trade and has victims whose final wishes were utterly betrayed.

This is a re-release of our original 2020 episode, brought back because the details of this shocking case connect directly to our current bonus series on the Netflix documentary, The Kings of Tupelo.

Before he was the Notorious B.I.G., he was simply Christopher Wallace, a gifted kid growing up in Brooklyn with a massive dream and unparalleled talent. His fast rise to becoming one of the most influential rappers of all time was filled with fame, but it was tragically cut short in a murder that remains unsolved to this day. This episode tells the story of Biggie Smalls, including his hardships, hard choices, and the explosive East Coast vs. West Coast hip-hop rivalry that many believe led to his death. We remember the man and the ongoing mystery that still surrounds the circumstances of his killing.
