Crime Library

However, I did not get my hands on and read this book directly.

There is a online forum, I don't know if it's a forum, a website called Crime Library that summarizes some of these, you know, detailed books about crimes.

So they used Gerard Sullivan's book, so that is like the main source of information, but I didn't get it directly from his book.

So just to be clear, I'm trusting that Crime Library did a good job of summarizing this book.

But by Butch's account, he says that he was home on the night of November 12th.

He said that he stayed up until about two AM watching a movie on TV.

I s-- why did I say the dog? You kn- you know who Shaggy is.

But the mail carrier noticed that Shaggy, who would usually be barking at him, was quiet that day, which is interesting because Shaggy was alive, so odd.

Her only saving grace perhaps was that that God forsaken doctor was not there when she died.

When he did arrive shortly after her death, he told the family he insisted on paying for her funeral and according to a piece from Court TV's Crime Library, quote, "Fearing contamination of her body from groundwater, he built a mausoleum for her in the nearby cemetery and preserved her in formaldehyde." End quote.

According to Ben Harrison, who refers to Tanzler by his fictitious last name Von Kosel, quote, "At the funeral home, Von Kosel selected the coffin, the flowers, and made the decisions required for the final disposition of his beloved.

He cowed a sobbing Nana, Elena's sister, into returning the silk dress and some of the jewelry she had taken, he said like a thief in the night, so that Elena would be viewed in something finer than the dirty rag she was wearing when he found her.

It wouldn't have been right for anyone else at the funeral home to see his wife/patient disrobed, and Nana couldn't be trusted." End quote.

[Instrumental music] According to the piece in Bird in Flight, Tanzler only had one key made to Elena's crypt, so no one else could visit her.

And according to the piece from Crime Library, he left a phone in the mausoleum so they could talk when he wasn't there in person, but he was pretty much always there.

For 18 months, he visited Elena's crypt every day.
