[morbidology]

This photograph shows the mummified body of Elena Hoyos. A radiologist named Carl Tanzler had become obsessed with her, and after she died, he stole her body from her grave. He attempted to preserve Elena's body through various means, including the use of chemicals, and even dressed her in clothing and applied makeup to maintain the appearance of life.

Carl Tanzler was born on February 8, 1903, in Dresden, Germany. He had a varied career, including work as an aviation engineer and later as a radiologist. In 1926, Tanzler emigrated to the United States, settling in Florida. His professional life, however, was overshadowed by his personal life and an obsession that would soon dominate headlines.

In 1931, Tanzler met Elena Hoyos, a young Cuban-American woman who was suffering from tuberculosis, a disease that was often fatal at the time. Elena, who was only 22 years old, became Tanzler's patient. Despite the fact that he was a radiologist and not a physician specializing in tuberculosis, Tanzler took a keen interest in her case.

Tanzler's fascination with Elena quickly evolved into an obsession. He reportedly believed that Elena was the reincarnation of a woman he had loved in his homeland. Tanzler began making extravagant and unprofessional attempts to cure her, including experimental treatments and visits to her home. His behavior was erratic, and his fixation on Hoyos grew stronger over time.

Elena Hoyos succumbed to tuberculosis in 1931, and her death was a devastating blow to her family. Tanzler, however, was unable to let go. He paid for Elena's funeral and removed her body from the grave just a few months later. Tanzler took the corpse to his home, where he engaged in macabre activities. He tried to preserve Elena's body using various methods, including chemicals, and dressed her in clothing while applying makeup to make her appear as though she were still alive.

Tanzler's grotesque actions eventually came to light in 1940 when Elena's family discovered the truth. They had been suspicious about the strange behaviour of the man who had been so involved with Elena's care. Tanzler was charged with the crime of abusing a corpse, but due to the statute of limitations, he was not prosecuted for the full extent of his actions.

Carl Tanzler's trial was highly publicized, but the charges against him were relatively minor. He was released on bond and eventually went on to live out his remaining years in relative obscurity. He continued to profess his love for Elena Hoyos until his death on July 3, 1952.

The Death mask.

Dark obsession of Carl Tanzler.

Carl Tanzler was born in Germany, 1877. He married sometime around 1920 and went on to have 2 children. He later moved to America, joined soon after by his wife and children in Zephyrhills, Florida. Tanzler then left behind his family when he took up a job as a radiology technician at the Marine hospital in Key West, Florida. Throughout his life he went by a multitude of names but this is the one he’s most known by.

At some point when he was younger, during a time in Italy, he claimed to have been visited by the ghost of a relative who showed him the face of his one true love, an “exotic, dark haired woman.”

Maria Elena Milagro Hoyos (Elena) was a Cuban-American, Born 1909. She married in 1926, but after tragically suffering a miscarriage soon after, her husband left her and moved away to Miami, though at the time of her death the pair were still legally married. She was seen as something of a beauty by locals in Key west, Florida. She was diagnosed with Tuberculosis and would eventually succumb to it at the age of 22.

Carl Tanzler met Elena Hoyos in April, 1930 at the Marine Hospital in Key west, Florida after her mother had brought her in for an examination. Tanzler immediately recognized her from his visions in Italy and became infatuated.

Carl used his “self professed” medical knowledge to attempt to cure Elena using medicines and electronic methods, but nothing worked. He would often treat her at home, bringing with him gifts in an effort to gain her affection, going so far it was reported, to confess his love outright. There is no evidence to support that she reciprocated his feelings.

Sadly, Elena succumbed to her illness at home on Oct 21, 1931. Tanzler paid for her funeral and commissioned a mausoleum that was erected soon after. Tanzler held a key to the tomb, going so far as to have a telephone installed. He would visit the grave each night for 2 years and at some point during this time he was fired from his job.

Elenas body was taken from her grave one evening in 1933 by Carl Tanzler. He took the corpse to his home and began ritualistically repairing Elena’s ever decomposing body. Over the course of 7 years he would use piano wires to hold her bones together, stuff her chest cavity with rags and fabric to sustain its shape, place a wig upon her head as her hair fell out, replaced her eyes with glass ones, rebuilt her face with plaster of Paris and wax and silks soaked in wax to patch her decomposing skin. Suspicions rose when he was witnessed purchasing perfumes, which were used with disinfectants to stave of the smell of the rotting corpse, and women’s clothing despite living alone and it was reported he had been seen dancing with Elena by a window. He kept Elena in his bed and doted upon her body as he “repaired” and dressed her in jewellery and gowns like a well loved doll.

Word got around town about his suspicious behaviour and it was long before Elena’s sister caught wind of them. She paid Carl a visit and was taken aback by what she thought was a life sized doll, an effigy to her sister complete with death mask, but to her horror she soon discovered it was in fact her sisters corpse.

Carl was arrested for "wantonly and maliciously destroying a grave and removing a body without authorization" in October 1940 but the case was dropped as the statute of limitations for the crime had expired.

Elena's body was examined by professionals and was put on public display at the Dean-Lopez Funeral Home, Elena's body was eventually laid to rest once again, her remains in a secret location.

Most shockingly during the examination of her body, it was discovered a vaginal tube had been inserted inside of her, leading to speculation that Tanzler had in fact committed to necrophilia with the corpse.

12 years later on July 3, 1952, Carl Tanzler passed away at home, found 3 weeks later on the floor. Close by to his body was a life sized effigy of his beloved, complete with Elena’s death mask.

Short story: Elena

This piece of writing is inspired by the story of Carl Tanzler and Elena Milagro de Hoyos, which I feel takes on a new relevancy with the state of women's rights to bodily autonomy in Florida. If you're not familiar with what happened, I recommend reading Tanzler's Wikipedia page for context. CW for themes of necrophilia and sexual assault.

-

She couldn’t feel the silk stitched over her atrophied muscles, patching her decaying skin together as it sloughed off her bones. The plaster encasing her face would have been heavy and suffocating, but her caving lungs had long been emptied, and therefore she did not have the luxury of struggling to breathe, the defiance the human brain so desperately employed when life was at stake. The taut pull of the wires holding her bones together like the limbs of a marionette, the sightless glass eyes set in their sockets like gemstones where her organic ones had long since rotted to nothing, the sickly odor of the perfumes condensing in a fog around her to keep the stench of decomposition at bay- she could not sense any of it, nor could she so much as gasp in terror as two hands felt along her caving hips, jutting out beneath the floral-print dress that concealed the maggoty caverns of festering flesh beneath bright springtime colors, vivid as the Key West sunset. 

She could not curse him when he sang to her at night, his amorous proclamations no doubt butchering the Spanish she’d grown up speaking. She could not repel his advances when his tongue slipped into her mouth, its tip feeling along the insides of her cheeks, stuffed with gauze to keep them from collapsing in on themselves. And she could not scream when he forced the tube underneath her skirt, between her stiff, cold legs, so that he could have his way with a woman who could not refuse him.

Perhaps it was for the best, then, that when he danced with her in time to a tinny waltz from the record player, swaying her dragging feet in the darkness of his house, she had no knowledge of what she had become, could not remember her miscarriage or the man she married or the tuberculosis that had only begun to devour her, leaving her carcass to the man tasked with curing it, so that he could pick her remains like carrion and lie in bed with her bones. 

When at last, after seven years, her sister chanced to look through the window and see them locked in that waltz, his head resting on her sagging shoulders, nose buried in the perfumed clumps of her hastily-replaced hair, a thousand impossible realities all collided together at once. That was the body- no, less than a body, a half-stitched, perfumed, putrefying mannequin- of the girl she’d grown up with, her sister she’d lost to the same disease that would soon take her life as well. Would she ever have known, when they were children, that this was where their futures would lead them? And after she’d alerted the authorities to recover it- no longer her, but it- her sister could not feel the relief of being taken out of that house, never to be touched by those hands again.

Nor could she feel the shame of being displayed in the funeral home like a dress in the window of a boutique.

 For seven years, it was his eyes and his alone that had feasted on her corpse; now, it was the eyes of thousands. They flocked around her like the flies that wormed into her many yawning crevices, gasping and pointing and cameras flashing. While alive, her beauty had turned heads; now, its grotesque mockery was twice as effective. She was fortunate she could not hear them sigh, muttering to themselves about that odd romantic, the eccentric but harmless doctor so desperate for love, even death could not wrench him from the embrace of his young Cuban sweetheart. It was a terrible shame, they said, that her body should be taken from him; after all, he’d gone through such touching care to ensure he could be with her forever. How sad, they sighed, shaking their heads, that the poor old man would never have another night to dance with her, to take her in his arms and kiss her and dress her and make her his own.

If she was granted one mercy, it was that she could not hear them.

[kissaubleu]

“Human jealousy has robbed me of the body of my Elena, yet divine happiness is flowing through me for she has survived death. Forever and ever, she is with me.”

Left: Elena while she was alive. Middle: The preserved Elena on display as she was found. Right: Tanzler with Elena’s death mask.

Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos first met Carl Tanzler (also known as Count Carl von Cosel) at 21 years old while suffering from Tuberculosis. In an attempt to get closer to her, Tanzler convinced her and her family that he was a doctor and could help take care of Elena. During his time caring for her, he gave her numerous gifts and expressed his affections only to consistently find them unreciprocated. Unfortunately, about 18 months later Elena would pass from her illness.

After her death, Tanzler paid for an elaborate tomb to be built for her and would visit her corpse nightly to speak with her and inject her with formaldehyde. After 2 years of this behavior, he took her body home. Realizing just how decomposed Elena had become, he started trying to bring her back to her original state through a variety of methods: using wire to strengthen her skeleton, replacing her eyes with glass, covering her skin in wax and plaster, filling her insides with rags, creating a wig from her remaining hair, and applying perfumes to cover the smell. By the end of it all, she was more of a life sized doll than a corpse. A doll that Tanzler would spend 7 years treating as his wife. Despite this (while many articles state otherwise), the only evidence to suggest that he was involved with her sexually surfaced over 30 years after her autopsy in a statement given by two men, making the claim questionable at best.

His dream life could not continue forever though. Once he was caught with Elena’s corpse, she was taken away and buried in an unmarked grave to avoid further disturbances. After Tanzler’s criminal case was dismissed (due to the statute of limitations having expired for “wantonly and maliciously destroying a grave and removing a body without authorization”) he would spend the rest of his life with Elena’s death mask, writing to and about her in his diary. Tanzler would not be found until 3 weeks after his passing, with nothing but the effigy of Elena to keep him company.

I think hell is a rock band

Like having deep dived into Mutley Cruh and now diving back into the Beatles I can't get over the absolutely depressing existence of being in a rock band. Like there's something weirdly hellish to me about people like building up this made-up version of you and never letting you evolve beyond this thing they've made you into in their heads.

Like with the Beatles especially it's so fascinating how people have just come up with their own storyline. And they will talk over everyone including the band themselves to insist well they know better. They know better than the bandmates themselves what's best for them, who they should have married etc.,

It's like having what Carl Tanzler did to Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos done to you while still alive.

[orpheuslament]

Necro but not in the Carl Tanzler and Elena Hoyos way right.. Because what you said is basically what he convinced himself he was doing LOL.

why are you talking about a real life case . im talking about heathcliff digging up cathys grave so he can lay down w her one last time

Caitlin Doughty's American Experience, a nsfl Independence Day blast

4th of July's not my favorite holiday. Besides donations and protesting, I cope with the pain by by downing myself in the "dark side" of American history. Got a knack for that from my parents, though it's tough to find stuff that's somehow both effective and respectful of it's subject matter.

Luckily, besides American Murder Song, there's always Caitlin Doughty aka Ask a Mortician!!

All of Caitlin’s content, being a real licensed mortician, deals with the care and keeping of corpses somewhat, the people who knew those corpses when they weren’t corpses, and the perception of death and mortality.

If death, upkeep of remains and any kind of mortality talk is a triggering topic at all then trust me -> none of these videos by this creator are for you.

For those who can handle those topics, Caitlin is incredibly respectful and champions for people’s rights in death care, but even then, PLEASE follow the content warnings I listed to make sure you know what you’re in for, below.

Mostly a pretty watch, actually (still, follow the content warnings)

Welp. Today I learned about this 😳

[santostoledocu]

En particular la música ha inspirado mi trabajo, con auténticos íconos como Rita Montaner, Ernesto Lecuona, Rosita Fornés, Celeste Mendoza, Elena Burke, Bola de Nieve, Benny Moré, Celia Cruz, Farah María, Beatriz Márquez, Chucho Valdés…

“Para mí la música es algo muy grande y las personas que se dedican a ella merecen mi mayor respeto. Pienso que ser un artista, un cantante o una actriz, implica una responsabilidad tan grande que hay que admirarlo y destacarlo, y mi mayor aporte es graficarlo”.

He trabajado con figuras del teatro y la danza, por ejemplo, agrupaciones como los españoles Antonio Gades y Cristina Hoyos, los argentinos de Les Luthiers, la compañía de Lizt Alfonso, Danza Nacional de Cuba y otros muchos. Ello lleva que por razones de trabajo he tenido el placer de esta en países como Austria, Hungría, España, Italia y México.

not to talk necrophilia but I'm going nuts over the coming (lol) La Suspendida jazz metal opera by Kilter + Andromeda Anarchia + Seven)Suns + Growlers Choir

to wit, María Elena Milagro Hoyos died @ 22 after her obsessive af doctor Carl Tanzler poisoned her and then he exhumed her body and did things to her for years

Kilter (unsurprisingly, all white American men) gives Elena (a Cuban woman) a very twisted perspective on the matter: she never got to show much personality in life and thus in death she aggressively haunts and taunts Tanzler to fuck her to deter the dead (GC) from taking her completely

reading (A) — such a POV sounds so much like a rape victim desiring more sex from their rapist, it's degrading and horrifying through and through; amplify this with the mention of nationalities because of how USA continually messes with Cuba and making oppressed nations look like they're asking for it is part of the shtick

reading (B) — since she's dead, tempting her killer to orgasm half to death inside her is thus far Elena's only chance at avenging herself (I sense this in how AA sings her lines) — this reading I had is really just weirder to process since

in real life Elena's actual corpse was finally put to rest at some point and Tanzler died in the arms of an effigy of her instead

the lyrics are in terms of “seed” which means how much does this character know that dead women can still be fertilized and that men have the gall to shag the dead

I have read a story called „Khol Do“ which ended with the father of a dead girl mistakenly believing she's alive because she had been raped so much by a bunch of guys that the mere command of “open” made her corpse loosen her underwear

reading (C) — since the realm of the dead apparently isn't bound by the forward movement of time in the living world (Elena mentions of Maria Callas, Marilyn Monroe, and Diana Spencer while talking to the dead and literally all three of these women throve after 1931 which was the year Elena died, so how would she have known them by name???), Elena learned to be a bit of a radfem while on queue, thus connecting to (B)

reading (D) — why then does the choir of the dead attack Elena for simply being the victim of Tanzler's necrophilia? like if not or apart from the misogyny in reading (A) can it also be that the dead only push Elena this far because they thought she's easier to reach in their own realm? compared to Tanzler whom they very easily take into that same realm anyway when he dies?

[morbidology]

Carl Tanzler, a radiologist from Key West, Florida, became infatuated with Elena Milagro Hoyos, who was one of his patients. When she died of tuberculosis in 1931, he had a mausoleum built for her with the approval of her parents. He didn’t like the idea of her decomposing underground. He would visit her tomb every night until his obsession overcame him and he took her body home with him and kept her in his bed. He attempted to restore her body by replacing her skin with plaster. He even purchased her a full wardrobe and perfume. 

It wasn’t until 1940, when one of Elena’s sisters became suspicious, that his obsession came to light. She went to his house to question him and found her sister's body lying in his bed, wearing an elegant dress, almost fully decomposed. Tanzler was later arrested and charged with “wantonly and maliciously destroying a grave and removing a body without authorization,” but he was ultimately released, as the statute of limitations on the crime had expired.

When he passed away on 3 July, 1952, a death mask of Elena was discovered in his home.

Carl Tanzler: O Homem Que Dormiu Com Um Cadáver

Em outubro de 1940, rumores começaram a circular quando testemunhas oculares afirmaram ter visto um homem dançando pela sala de estar com um cadáver; esse homem era Carl Tanzler, e o cadáver em questão era o de Elena De Hoyos.

A irmã de Elena, Florinda, cansada do boato ruim, decidiu visitar Tanzler para ver se o boato era verdade...

O Início: Carl Tanzler e Elena De Hoyos

Carl Tanzler nasceu Geor Karl Tanzler em Dresden, Alemanha, em 8 de fevereiro de 1877.

Embora não se saiba muito sobre sua infância, muitas fontes costumam afirmar que Tanzler revelou como uma parente falecida, a Condessa Anna Constantia Von Cosel, o visitava em sonhos e lhe mostrava o rosto de seu único e verdadeiro amor, que ele descreveu como uma "mulher exótica de cabelos escuros".

Tanzler cresceu na Alemanha, mas depois viajou e foi parar na Austrália pouco antes do início da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Durante seu tempo na Austrália, ele se interessou por engenharia e começou a trabalhar na construção de seu próprio "transoceânico" quando a guerra estourou. Por causa disso e de sua herança, Tanzler foi colocado em um campo de concentração para "proteção" pelas autoridades militares britânicas.

Quando a guerra terminou em 1918, Tanzler foi libertado e, embora não tenha recebido permissão para retornar para casa, ele retornou à Alemanha em 1920, onde se casou com Doris Schafer, com quem teve dois filhos.

Continuando suas viagens, Tanzler emigrou para os EUA em 1926 e acabou se estabelecendo em Zephyrhills, Flórida, onde sua esposa e filhos mais tarde se juntaram a ele.

No entanto, Tanzler mais uma vez deixou sua família para se tornar um técnico em radiologia no Marine Hospital em Key West, Flórida, onde Tanzler (que tinha 53 anos na época) conheceu Elena De Hoyos, de 20 anos.

Elena De Hoyos era a filha cubano-americana de um fabricante de charutos local em Key West. Ela nasceu em 1909 e se casou com seu marido com apenas 17 anos. No entanto, infelizmente, ela teve um aborto espontâneo, e o casamento posteriormente desmoronou. Seu marido se mudou para Miami.

Ao adoecer, as mães de Elena a levaram ao hospital da Marinha para exames, e ela foi diagnosticada com tuberculose, uma doença que era fatal na época.

Mas foi neste hospital que Carl Tanzler reconheceu a beleza do rosto dela, pois Elena era a visão que Tanzler tinha visto muitas vezes em seus sonhos - seu único e verdadeiro amor.

Quando o amor se transforma em obsessão:

⬆️ Carl Tanzler ⬆️

Carl Tanzler estava convencido de que Elena era o assunto das visões que ele teve durante sua infância, e embora sua especialidade fosse radiologia, ele começou a dedicar todo seu tempo e energia para tentar curar a infecção fatal de Elena por meio de muitos remédios e tratamentos. Ele até levou equipamento médico para a casa de Elena.

Ele não apenas a cobriu com todo seu autoproclamado conhecimento médico por mais de 18 meses, como também a encheu de presentes, como joias e roupas, e acabou proclamando seu amor por ela - embora não haja fontes diretas ou evidências de que Elena retribuísse seu afeto.

⬆️ Elena Milagro Hoyos ⬆️

Em 23 de outubro de 1931, aos 22 anos, Elena sucumbiu à doença e faleceu. Tanzler insistiu que queria pagar pelo funeral dela, e até desembolsou por um mausoléu luxuoso que se tornaria seu local de descanso final, ou assim todos presumiram.

Perdido, após perder o "amor de sua vida", Tanzler, pelos dois anos seguintes, visitou o túmulo de Elena todos os dias, falando com ela, cantando músicas para ela e até mesmo afirmando que o espírito dela responderia a ele.

No entanto, essa obsessão logo seria levada a um novo nível.

Tanzer afirmou que ouviu a voz de Elena pedindo para levá-la para casa com ele, e como visitar seu túmulo todos os dias não era o suficiente para satisfazê-lo, ele a ouviu.

Em uma noite escura de 1933, Tanzler entrou no cemitério de Key West equipado com um carrinho de brinquedo, entrou em seu túmulo e removeu seu corpo.

Como Carl Tanzler "consertou" o cadáver de Elena:

O corpo de Elena De Hoyos estava em seu local de descanso final há quase dois anos, então o estado de seu corpo era de decomposição extremamente acelerada. No entanto, isso não deteve Tanzler.

Em vez disso, ele começou a "consertá-la".

Em um laboratório improvisado que ele construiu em sua casa, no formato de uma pequena aeronave - que ele chamou de "Nave Estelar de Elena" - Tanzler começou a reconstruir o corpo de Elena.

Usando cordas de piano e cabides, ele conseguiu reconstruir o corpo dela ao amarrar os ossos de volta à forma esquelética, então usou trapos e toalhas para encher o tronco afundado de volta à forma. Para a pele em decomposição, ele embebeu bandagens de seda em gesso e cera de agente funerário, e substituiu os olhos dela por olhos de vidro.

Para disfarçar o cheiro de carne podre, Tanzler encharcou Elena e sua casa com grandes quantidades de perfume e sprays desinfetantes

Tanzler construiu uma peruca com o cabelo que caiu do couro cabeludo dela durante a decomposição, bem como com o cabelo que ele ganhou da mãe de Elena após sua morte. Ele então grampeou essa peruca no crânio dela.

Elena foi vestida com roupas e joias e foi deitada em sua cama, onde ele dormiu ao lado dela pelos sete anos seguintes.

Sempre houve a questão se Tanzler se entregou à necrofilia, embora muitas fontes afirmem que Tanzler nunca disse que se envolveu em tais atividades. Não havia nenhuma evidência real disso, além do fato de que um aparelho semelhante a um tubo foi encontrado dentro de sua área íntima.

Tanzler é pego dançando com os mortos:

O corpo de Elena De Hoyos ficou ao lado de Carl Tanzler em sua cama, pelos próximos sete anos. Mas um dia um vizinho confessou ter testemunhado Tanzler, através de uma janela aberta, dançando com um cadáver vestido.

O boato começou a circular e, para o horror de todos, eles pensaram que poderia ser uma possibilidade, já que Tanzler também teria sido visto comprando roupas femininas e perfumes, embora sua esposa não estivesse morando com ele na época.

Para a família de Elena, isso deve ter sido horrível de ouvir e, por curiosidade e determinação de descobrir a verdade, uma das irmãs de Elena, Florinda, foi à casa de Tanzler para perguntar a verdade.

Tanzler teria mostrado o corpo de Elena à ela, mas devido à quantidade de "trabalho" que Tanzler havia feito no cadáver, sua irmã inicialmente pensou que ele havia construído uma efígie de Elena. Logo ficou claro que o corpo apoiado na mesa de jantar era, na verdade, o de sua irmã.

Naturalmente, Florina notificou as autoridades, e Tanzler foi preso em outubro de 1940 e acusado de "destruir de forma arbitrária e maliciosa uma sepultura e remover um corpo sem autorização".

O Julgamento de Carl Tanzler:

O julgamento de Carl Tanzler gerou muito frenesi na mídia e no público, o que não é surpreendente considerando o crime - mas o consenso geral não foi de raiva, mas de pena.

Tanzler foi visto como um "excêntrico solitário" e foi considerado apto a ser julgado. Isso apesar do fato de que durante uma avaliação psiquiátrica, Tanzler declarou que ele "reconstruiu" o cadáver dela em seu avião improvisado.

Ele tinha esperanças de um dia levá-la "alto até a estratosfera, para que a radiação do espaço sideral pudesse penetrar em seus tecidos e restaurar a vida à sua forma sonolenta".

Entretanto, a partir do momento da prisão de Tanzler, o "estatuto de limitações" havia expirado e ele foi liberado da custódia.

Mas a provação para Elena ainda não havia acabado. Seu corpo foi exibido em uma funerária local, Dean Lopez Funeral Home, onde quase 7000 pessoas foram ver seu cadáver antes que ela fosse finalmente sepultada em uma cova sem identificação.

Vida após a morte:

Após a libertação inicial de Tanzler, ele se mudou para Pasco County, Floria, em 1944, onde sua esposa, Doris, teria cuidado dele em seus últimos anos. Alega-se que Tanzler, ainda rígido com sua obsessão por Elena, usou uma "máscara mortuária" para criar uma boneca de Elena em tamanho real.

Carl Tanzler morreu em 3 de julho de 1952, aos 75 anos.

Há muitos rumores e relatos de que Tanzler foi encontrado morto nos braços de sua boneca de tamanho real. Alguns dizem que ele foi encontrado nu em cima da boneca, enquanto mais fontes citam que ele foi encontrado morto no chão e estava perto de uma boneca de tamanho real.

Com uma história tão estranha e macabra, não é de se surpreender que detalhes mais macabros ou sombrios tenham surgido sobre o caso anos depois do fato. Há alegações de que uma nota foi encontrada escrita por Tanzler que confessou ter matado Elena.

⬆️ Tanzler com uma foto de Elena ⬆️

Uma história em particular escrita por um Micehlfleder foi encontrada em uma revista, intitulada "O Dr. Frankenstein da Flórida e seu Laboratório do Amor".

O artigo explica como alguém estava reformando uma casa de campo e, ao desmontar uma parede, encontrou o que parecia ser uma nota de confissão:

"Ela morreu porque eu dei isso a ela misericordiosamente. Misturei a raiz de acônito (acônito) com acônito diluído. Era palatável e minha amada partiu deste mundo miserável em 25 de outubro de 1931. Não sofra mais, doce Elena. Eu a enviei aos anjos com meu elixir dourado"

A conexão assustadora entre esta nota e o relatório da autópsia de Elena é bastante alarmante. O relatório da autópsia foi mantido em segredo por Tanzler, mas ele informou verbalmente às pessoas que Elena teve "convulsões violentas" antes de sua morte e esta revelação foi encontrada anotada em um registro policial na época da morte de Elena.

A conexão entre essas duas informações é assustadora, pois o "acônito", é uma das ervas mais tóxicas nativas do norte da Ásia e da Europa, que tem sido usada como um veneno mortal ao longo da história.

Um relato de caso em 2020 por (Christopher) Wood, (James) Coulson, (John) Thompson e (Stephen) Bonner detalhou os efeitos de um homem de cinquenta anos sofrendo de envenenamento por acônito e como ele sofreu uma convulsão, muito parecida com as convulsões violentas que Elena teria sofrido antes de sua morte.

No caso de Carl Tanzler, há muitos julgamentos de "e se" extras espalhados por esse caso macabro, e é difícil decifrar o que é fato e o que é boato, devido ao caso ser tão antigo, testemunhas limitadas e nenhum registro formal da autópsia, incluindo fotos. Seria fácil fazer conexões macabras que podem não existir, mas elas podem ser provadas de outra forma?

É um mistério, foi assassinato? Ou foi um caso simples de obsessão fatal?

Ninguém jamais saberá com certeza.
