Description:

William Burke and William Hare were killers who murdered victims in the city of Edinburgh and sold the bodies to an anatomist who needed cadavers for lessons. They killed at least sixteen people in one year, but their greed made them reckless, and they were ultimately caught.  

Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about Burke and Hare. Graverobbing was a big thing many years ago, so much so that some people hired guards to make sure their loved one's bodies were not disturbed. Burke and Hare discovered they could make a lot of money selling bodies to a local doctor. But they took their plan to the extreme, decided to cut out the graverobbing, and began killing people on their own.
