In nineteen thirties, Florida, Carl Tansler's love for a young
2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:15.919
woman didn't end with her death. It began a horrifying obsession.

00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.519
After stealing her corpse and living with it for seven years,
4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.760
His twisted devotion shocked the nation. Was it love, madness

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.480
or something far Darknow?

What you were about to beat Eastbury to be Based

00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:44.880
on witness accounts, testimonies, and public record, this is terrifying
8
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.799
and treat.
9
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:59.799
Key West, Florida, nineteen forty, a quiet tropical town hides
10
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.239
one of the most macabre's secrets in American history. For
11
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:09.760
nearly seven years, an aging radiologist lived with the preserved
12
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:15.879
corpse of a beautiful young woman, dressed perfumed and posed
13
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.079
as if still alive. Carl Tansler claimed it was love
14
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.159
that drove him to steal the body of Maria Elena
15
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.840
Hoyos from her tomb. But what kind of love defies death,
16
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:33.640
desecrates the graves, and crosses into obsession? Tonight we examine
17
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.120
a story so bizarre, so unsettling, it has haunted generations,
18
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.120
A tale of visions stolen remains in devotion beyond the grave.
19
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:59.959
Right after this, George Carl Tansler, also known as cal
20
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.760
Carl von Cassel, was born on February eighth, eighteen seventy
21
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.000
seven in Dresden, Germany. Growing up in the German Empire,
22
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:17.240
he developed an active imagination and a fascination with the extraordinary.
23
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.039
He later claimed to have had visions of a deceased ancestor,
24
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.080
Countess Anna Constantia von Cassel, who revealed to him the
25
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:33.800
face of his destined love, an exotic, dark haired woman.
26
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.639
These visions would have a profound influence on his life,
27
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.599
shaping his beliefs and decisions in the years to come.
28
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.560
At some point, Tansler traveled to Australia, where he lived
29
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.960
just before the outbreak of World War I. During his
30
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.000
time there, he pursued an interest in engineering and electrical work,
31
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.199
bought property, owned boats, and even aspired to build a
32
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:12.120
transoceanic aircraft. However, when the war began, his life took
33
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.800
a drastic turn. As a German national, he was detained
34
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.800
by British authorities and sent to an internment camp for
35
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.120
quote safe keeping. He was later transferred to Trial Bay Goal,
36
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.479
where he remained for the duration of the war. After
37
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.719
his release, Tansler returned to Germany and attempted to rebuild
38
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.400
his life. Around nineteen twenty he married Doris Schaeffer, and
39
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:50.879
the couple had two daughters, Ayesha and Clarista. However, tragedy
40
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:57.520
struck when Clarista died of diphtheria, a loss that deeply
41
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:04.599
affected the family. Despite these hardships, Tansler remained restless and
42
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.759
seemed drawn toward a different path. His fixation on the
43
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.959
vision of his destined love never faded, influencing his decisions
44
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:25.360
and ways that would later become disturbingly evident. In nineteen
45
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.120
twenty six, Tansler left Germany behind and embarked on a
46
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.720
journey to the United States. He sailed from Rotterdam to Havana, Cuba,
47
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:41.879
before making his way to Zephyrhill's, Florida, where his sister
48
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.800
had already settled. His arrival in America marked a new
49
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.959
chapter in his life, but it also meant leaving his
50
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:57.879
wife and surviving daughter behind. He soon sought work, and
51
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.959
in nineteen twenty seven, secured a position as a radiology
52
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.279
technician at the US Marine Hospital in Key West, Florida.
53
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.839
In Key West, Tansler began using the name Carl von Cassel,
54
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.839
a title that added to the air of mystery surrounding him.
55
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.160
He settled into his new role at the hospital, where
56
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.360
he was responsible for operating X ray machines and assisting
57
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:34.279
with tuberculosis patients. Despite his qualifications, there was an eccentricity
58
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.560
to him that set him apart from his colleagues. He
59
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.000
carried himself with an air of nobility and spoke of
60
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:50.040
scientific knowledge and inventions that seemed more like fantasies than
61
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:57.639
practical reality. While his past was filled with travel, unusual experiences,
62
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.279
and personal losses. In Key West that Tansler's life took
63
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:09.240
its most bizarre and unsettling turn. It was here that
64
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:15.000
he encountered the woman who, in his mind, perfectly matched
65
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:20.000
the face from his visions, a moment that set the
66
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:27.240
stage for an obsessive and deeply disturbing love story. On
67
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:32.240
April twenty second, nineteen thirty, while working at the US
68
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:37.680
Marine Hospital in Key West, Carl Tansler encountered Maria Elena
69
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:43.319
Malagro de oyis a strikingly beautiful Cuban American woman who
70
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.160
had been brought in by her mother for a medical examination.
71
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.959
The moment Tansler laid eyes on Elena, he became convinced
72
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.959
that she was the woman from his visions, the dark
73
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.759
haired beauty his ancestor had revealed to him years before.
74
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.360
To Tansler, this was not a mere coincidence, but fate
75
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:16.079
manifesting itself right before him, he immediately became enamored with her,
76
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.160
seeing her not just as a patient, but as the
77
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:27.879
one he had been destined to love. Elena, born in
78
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.839
nineteen o nine, was the daughter of Francisco Pancho Hoyos,
79
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.480
a cigar maker, and Aurora Malagro. She had two sisters,
80
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.120
Florinda Nana Melagor Hoyos and Celia Melagora Jyos, both of
81
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:50.160
whom played significant roles in her life. The Hoyos family
82
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.639
was well known in the Key West community, but their
83
00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:00.519
lives were marred by tragedy. Tuberculosis, a devastating disease at
84
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.160
the time, would go on to claim multiple members of
85
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:12.639
the family, including Elena herself. Her older sister, Nana, had
86
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:18.079
married Mario Medina, who suffered a tragic and untimely death
87
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.399
when he was electrocuted while trying to save a coworker
88
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.879
who had accidentally struck a power line with a crane.
89
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.080
Celia like Elena would also later succumb to tuberculosis. The
90
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:39.759
Hoyos family endured heartbreak after heartbreak, with death seeming to
91
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.240
loom over them at every turn. Despite her beauty and charm,
92
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.600
Elena's personal life was far from perfect. On February eighteenth,
93
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:57.039
nineteen twenty six, she remarried Luis Mesa, the son of
94
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:03.120
Cardidad and Isaac Mesa. However, their marriage did not last.
95
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:10.000
After Elena suffered a miscarriage, her husband abandoned her, leaving
96
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:16.120
Key West for Miami. Though separated for years, the couple
97
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.120
never formally divorced, meaning Elena remained legally married to Mesa
98
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.559
until the end of her life. The loss of her
99
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.639
unborn child, followed by the collapse of her marriage, added
100
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:36.600
to the pain she endured. With her health now in decline,
101
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.600
she found herself fighting a battle she had little hope
102
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:53.840
of winning. Elena was soon diagnosed with tuberculosis, an illness
103
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.639
that had already devastated her family and was considered fatal
104
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.639
at the time. There was no known cure, and most
105
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:10.879
who contracted the disease did not survive. As a radiology technician,
106
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:17.279
Tansler became fixated on saving Elena, dedicating himself entirely to
107
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:22.960
her treatment. He experimented with various methods, some of which
108
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:29.240
were unconventional and had little or no medical backing. He
109
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:34.279
brought X ray machines, electrical equipment, and other supplies directly
110
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.840
to the Oios home, determined to find a cure where
111
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:46.159
none existed. However, Tansler's dedication was not solely driven by
112
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:53.000
medical duty. His obsession with Elena deepened with every passing day.
113
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:01.879
Tansler's efforts extended far beyond medicine. He showered with lavish gifts,
114
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:08.679
including jewelry, fine clothing, and expensive perfumes. He declared his
115
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:13.240
undying love for her, convinced that they were meant to
116
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:19.320
be together. However, there was no evidence that Elena ever
117
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:26.639
reciprocated his feelings. She remained polite but distant, showing no
118
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:32.000
signs of romantic interest. To her, Tansler was simply a
119
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:37.360
doctor trying to help her, while to him, she was
120
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:44.200
the fulfillment of a prophecy. His infatuation grew more intense
121
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.840
as her condition worsened, and despite her lack of affection,
122
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.480
he refused to let go of the fantasy that they
123
00:11:53.480 --> 00:12:00.679
were destined to be together. Despite Carl Tansler's relentless efforts
124
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.320
to save her. Maria Elena Malagro de Oyos succumbed to
125
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.639
tuberculosis at her parents home in Key West on October
126
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:15.000
twenty fifth, nineteen thirty one. Her passing marked the end
127
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:19.279
of her suffering, but for Tansler, it was only the
128
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:25.799
beginning of a macabre obsession. Overcome with grief, he took
129
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.440
it upon himself to arrange and pay for her funeral,
130
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.600
ensuring that she was given what he believed to be
131
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:38.600
a proper burial with the consent of Elena's family, he
132
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:43.159
also commissioned an elaborate above ground mausoleum in the Key
133
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.639
West Cemetery, a structure that would serve as both a
134
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:53.320
final resting place and a shrine to the woman he
135
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:59.960
claimed to love. However, his devotion went far beyond mourning.
136
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:06.080
He visited the tomb almost every night, speaking to Elena
137
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:12.279
as if she were still alive. As the months passed,
138
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:19.240
Tansler's attachment to Elena's grave only grew more intense. He
139
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:25.159
spent long hours by the mausoleum playing Spanish love songs
140
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:31.840
on a small organ, convinced that her spirit remained with him.
141
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.799
According to his own accounts, Elena's ghost would appear to him,
142
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.440
urging him to take her away from her grave so
143
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:47.039
they could be together once more. Whether these encounters were
144
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:52.919
hallucinations or elaborate justifications for what he was about to do,
145
00:13:53.960 --> 00:14:02.879
one thing became clear. Tansler was unwilling to let go. Then,
146
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.799
on an April night in nineteen thirty three, nearly two
147
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.200
years after Elena's burial, Tansler acted on his disturbing desires.
148
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.519
Under the cover of darkness, he crept into the cemetery,
149
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:27.000
removed Elena's corpse from the mausoleum, and placed her remains
150
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:35.480
in a small toy wagon. Carefully and quietly, he transported
151
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:40.320
her lifeless body to his home, where he planned to
152
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:46.320
preserve her in a way that defied all natural laws.
153
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:53.559
Once inside his house, Tansler embarked on a grotesque process
154
00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.440
to maintain Elena's deteriorating remains. He first attempted to hold
155
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:06.720
her decaying bones together using piano wire, fashioning a skeletal
156
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:12.440
structure that would allow her body to retain its shape,
157
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:18.480
but decomposition was inevitable. As her skin withered away, he
158
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.399
painstakingly replaced it with silk cloth soaked in wax and
159
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:30.639
plaster of Paris, molding it to mimic the smoothness of
160
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.480
a living body. Her once lustrous, dark hair had begun
161
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:41.200
to fall out, so Tansler retrieved strands of her hair
162
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.840
that he had secretly obtained from her mother and crafted
163
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:51.240
a wig to restore what had been lost. His methods
164
00:15:51.320 --> 00:16:00.840
were unorthodox, unnatural, and utterly horrifying. Determined to maintain the
165
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:06.080
illusion of life, Tansler went to disturbing lengths to restore
166
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.360
Elena's appearance. He filled her chest an abdominal cavity, with
167
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.639
rags to preserve her form, ensuring that she would not
168
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.840
collapse into a skeletal husk. He dressed her in stockings, gloves,
169
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:28.279
and jewelry, adorning her in the elegant attire he at
170
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:34.240
once gifted her while she was alive. To conceal the
171
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:40.240
overwhelming stench of decomposition, he used a combination of perfume,
172
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:47.679
disinfectants and various chemical preservatives. But no matter how much
173
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:54.679
he tried to fight nature, the reality remained. Elena was
174
00:16:54.759 --> 00:17:02.480
gone and her body was rotting. Yet tans simply refused
175
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:17.160
to accept this harsh truth. For years Tansler lived in
176
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.400
seclusion with Elena's corpse, treating her as though she were
177
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:29.880
still his beloved companion. He spoke to her, dined beside her,
178
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:36.319
and even shared his bed with her lifeless remains. In
179
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:42.799
his mind, their love had transcended death, and he had
180
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:47.000
done what no one else could. He had brought Elena
181
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:52.440
back to him. But in the outside world people had
182
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:59.319
begun to notice his strange behavior. Whispers circulated about his
183
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:05.319
recluse lifestyle, his obsession with a woman long dead, and
184
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:10.599
the unsettling presence of a figure glimpsed through the windows
185
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:16.200
of his home. Tanslor had managed to keep his secret
186
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:21.160
for nearly seven years, but the truth was about to
187
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:27.200
come to light in the most shocking way imaginable. In
188
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.519
October nineteen forty, nearly seven years after Carl Tansler had
189
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:39.079
taken Elena Oyos's body from the cemetery, his dark secret
190
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:45.319
was finally exposed. Rumors had been circulating in Key West
191
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:50.200
that Tansler was living with Elena's remains, treating her as
192
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:57.200
though she were still alive. These whispers eventually reached Elena's sister,
193
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:06.799
Florinda Oyos, who became deeply disturbed by the allegations, determined
194
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.799
to uncover the truth, she went to Tansalor's home, where
195
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:20.200
she made a horrifying discovery. Her sister's corpse, eerily preserved
196
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:27.440
and dressed, was still in his possession. Worse still, Tanslor
197
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:32.480
was seen dancing with Elena's body in front of an
198
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:40.960
open window. Overcome with shock and disgust, Florinda immediately alerted
199
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:47.799
the authorities, leading to Tansler's arrest. After he was taken
200
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:54.200
into custody, Tansllor underwent a psychiatric evaluation, but despite the
201
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:59.519
disturbing nature of his actions, he was deemed mentally competent
202
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:06.519
to stand trial. He was charged with wantonly and maliciously
203
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:12.839
destroying a grave and removing a body without authorization. On
204
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.839
October ninth, nineteen forty, he appeared at a preliminary hearing
205
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.119
at the Monroe County Courthouse in Key West. Although his
206
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:28.400
crime appalled the public, the legal system did not hold
207
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.599
him accountable. The case was dismissed due to the statute
208
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:40.319
of limitations expiring, and Tansler was released without facing any
209
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:49.119
significant consequences for his actions. Following the recovery of Elena's body,
210
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:56.480
physicians and pathologists conducted a thorough examination before making an
211
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:03.640
unusual decision, They placed her remains on public display at
212
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:09.240
the Dean Lopez Funeral Home. The case had already captured
213
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:14.640
widespread attention, and an estimated sixty eight hundred people came
214
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:21.359
to view Elena's preserved body, turning the tragic affair into
215
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:28.359
a macabre spectacle. After the public display, officials took measures
216
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:34.880
to ensure that Elena's remains would never be disturbed again.
217
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:40.319
Her body was reburied in a secret, unmarked grave within
218
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:45.839
the Key West Cemetery. Some reports claim her remains were
219
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.599
dismembered and placed in a metal box before burial, preventing
220
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:58.599
any further desecration. The case became a media sensation, with
221
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:03.680
extensive coverage from newspapers like the Key West Citizen in
222
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:09.920
the Miami Herald. While some saw Tansler's actions as grotesque
223
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:15.680
and deeply unsettling, a surprising number of people viewed him
224
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.279
as an eccentric romantic driven by an obsessive love rather
225
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.680
than malice. Many articles portrayed him with an air of
226
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:34.759
tragic devotion rather than condemning his desecration of Elena's body.
227
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:42.640
This unusual public sentiment turned Tansler into a strange kind
228
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.319
of folk figure, with some people expressing sympathy for his
229
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:54.480
obsessive infatuation rather than horror at his grave robbing and
230
00:22:54.640 --> 00:23:03.799
corpse preservation. Decades later, new allegations added another disturbing layer
231
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:10.559
to the case. In nineteen seventy two, two physicians, doctor
232
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.640
Depew and doctor Forker, who had been involved in the
233
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:20.480
nineteen forty autopsy, claimed that they had discovered a vaginal
234
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:27.839
tube inserted into Elena's corpse, implying that Tansler had engaged
235
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:35.200
in necrophilia. However, because no such evidence was presented in
236
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.039
court at the time, and the claim emerged more than
237
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:46.400
thirty years later, its credibility remains in question. No existing
238
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:51.559
photographs from the autopsy or the public display showed any
1
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:09.039
2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:15.919
