What started as a quiet investigation into a vandalized mausoleum at Mount Moriah Cemetery quickly spiraled into something much darker.

In this episode, we explore the recent arrest of Jonathan Christian Gerlach — accused of stealing human remains from Philadelphia’s historic cemeteries — and the eerie digital trail he left behind. From curated Instagram posts to disturbing discoveries in his home, police uncovered a scene that felt more like a horror film than real life.

But this isn’t just about one man. It’s about a culture. A curiosity. And a line that gets crossed when fascination becomes exploitation.

With historical context, family legacies, and a respectful look at ethical collecting, Episode 99 unearths the names behind the tombs — and what happens when the dead are no longer left to rest.
