Episode Dr. Parkman is Missing
In the mid-1800s, Harvard Medical School had a reputation for being a “den of body snatchers.” And then, in November 1849, the school’s most prominent supporter, Dr. George Parkman, went missing. He was last seen walking into the medical school building. Several days later, a janitor, named Ephraim Littlefield found something strange in the lab of faculty member Dr. John Webster.
Paul Collins’ book is Blood & Ivy: The 1849 Murder That Scandalized Harvard.
