A new true-crime podcast is delving into crimes of the past and present in relation to sex, procreation, pregnancy, birth, and all things human reproduction. The latest episode of Conceiving Crime<\/a> centers on a shocking story out of Illinois in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

In September of that year, Mark was at his home in Michigan when he received a phone call from his wife, who asked him to drive out to see her sister, whose husband had died just a few days earlier. She needed help cleaning out their home, including the garage. He and his wife had been married for 35 years, but Mark had not once been invited to his in-laws’ home \u2014 until now. He agreed to go help.<\/p>\n

After arriving, it appeared to Mark that his brother-in-law was a hoarder. He had also been a doctor.<\/p>\n

“We began to clear the clutter from the home, and opened up the garage door to find a wall of everything he had saved … car parts, empty dog food containers .. he never discarded a container,” said Mark. “So, as we were digging through the second day, it was the evening, I opened up a cardboard box, and found some bags in there with liquid in it. And as I lifted the third bag out, I realized what I was looking at. I almost collapsed. It was beyond anything I ever thought. My son was with me and came and saw it and he immediately wanted to leave and never come back.”<\/p>\n
