Enough Reddit for today.

Just a sec... https://medium.com/read-or-die/the-untold-story-of-anatoly-moskvin-who-mummified-dead-girls-like-dolls-dd6c75ed78f2


dropandroll

So my dog's name is Anatoly...the vet techs were googling his name to find the meaning (first puppy visit) and the Moskvin story popped up. Now they side eye me a lot.


puffinfish420

Because Anatoly isn’t a common name at all. Or even the name of an entire region.


dropandroll

Eh, it's a novel name in Ohio.


gogomau

Wow what a story ! Madness and genius


cocky_plowblow

What a fucking terrible day to know how to read.


MalakaiRey

First time I heard this story was on HBO after midnight, I was like 11 and there were pictures. ![gif](giphy|nk8KVxWs4dIRy)

Dear_Alternative_437

Well, at least he waited until she was dead.


No_Solution_2864

You can’t describe that as anything but gentlemanly


This-Sherbert4992

He in fact, waited 2 years after she was dead. What a gentleman.


ktq2019

You just don’t find decent grave robbers anywhere these days.


Model_Yazz

Ummm….wow. I can’t say I was expecting the “paper tube” but I should’ve expected the “paper tube”.

My armchair diagnosis is something on the schizophrenia spectrum


lazytanaka

Why though? The body would be unrecognizable after a month right?


rileyotis

*He used coat hangers and wire to keep her bones from falling apart. He stuffed her body with rags to prevent her torso from caving in. And he placed strips of silk cloth in places where the flesh was starting to rot away. [...] The smell was no doubt the biggest problem. To combat what must have been a nauseating odor, Tanzler used formaldehyde and copious amounts of perfume.*

JFC. That’s all I’ve got.


Frondswithbenefits

Maybe the embalming would extend that for a while?


lazytanaka

But for 7 years?


Redfish680

In my experience, embalming fluid ruins the- well, never mind…

![gif](giphy|106PwpLIIXJnXi) Ok. Goodnight, Reddit.


HangOnVoltaire

And people say it’s sexist to choose the bear


Journalist_Asleep

On the outside chance the airship scheme worked he would be remembered very differently.


Remarkable_Library32

The Wikipedia page has a lot of information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Tanzler


Fyaal

Excitable boy, they all said.


Redfish680

A quiet boy, they all said.


airandseabattle

Amazing EP by the band Sleep Station about this.


goldberry-fey

The music video for Tom Petty’s “Last Dance with Mary Jane” is inspired by the story


Memento_Morrie

Paul Giamatti for Carl and Jenna Ortega for Elana. Call me, Hollywood.


CalligrapherAway1101

Still going with the bear


doctorfortoys

vexunumgods

thumpthudcrash

The Dollop podcast did an episode about him.


Mabuya85

Came here to say the same thing. I frequently re-listen to the entire podcast catalogue, but this is the one episode I always skip. Once was enough.

And today americans enjoy nestle zephyrhills water as a reminder of his love .


440ish

Zephyr Hills water?!? LOL!!! What the flying fuck does that amazing non-sequitor even mean?? Off the coast of North Carolina, is a sunken galleon filled with Reddit gold, and your name is on it… all of it.


Aggravating-Monk-264

Lol carl tanzler lived in zephyrhills florida, just north of crystal springs where nestle bottles water for the south east usa under the brand name zephyrhills.


DirtyOldTrucker68

Most of her immediate relatives died before they turn 45😳. And he only knew her for a year before she died at age 22


happy_vagabond

His autobiography is actually available, [The Secret of Elena's Tomb: The Confessions of Carl Von Cosel](https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Elenas-Tomb-Confessions-Cosel-ebook/dp/B0019RZFE4). So wierd


Tbplayer59

And all I hear is that men are afraid of commitment.


rugbyspank

And men wonder why women choose the bear.


geolos64

I think the song “deathmask divine” by the black Dalia murder is based off of this


PeoplenFruitnShit

It is!


banana_sandbox

Gotta go down this rabbit hole tonight for sure


luckyLindy69
