Episode: The Starvation Doctor: Linda Hazzard
Description: Women who wanted a quick and simple solution for their
health issues visited Dr. Linda Hazzard in the early 1900s. Socialites
came to Hazzard and her cutting-edge sanatorium, Wilderness Heights, to spend weeks relaxing and cleansing their bodies. They had no idea that Linda Hazzard was a con artist. In addition to the fact that none of her remedies worked, she was a serial killer. At Linda Hazzard's sanitarium, torture, forced starvation, and even death were commonplace. It was even known locally as Starvation Heights.
