36. Cannibalism: Cops to Chemists

Dr. Shiloh & Dr. Scott use the cannibal cop case as a jumping off point for exploring the etiology of cannibalism and the ways it has been intertwined into other true crime stories. They also discuss intrusive thoughts that we all experience, the development of fantasies and the danger of criminally prosecuting someone for their disturbing thoughts.
