Katarzyna Zowada - The Skin Suit Murder

In this episode… Tara uncovers a chilling, not yet resolved murder in Krakow, Poland. Oddly enough, despite the gruesome details of the crime, this story never made it to the American newspapers even though the FBI was called upon to assist in the investigation and details of the “skin suit” that was found was eerily reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs. This week we discuss the heart-breaking case of Katarzyna Zowada, a 23-year old college student who was tortured and skinned like an animal and then dumped in the Vistula River. This poor, sweet, troubled girl met her horrifying end during the winter of 1999. We’re going to discuss what happened between the discovery of her remains and the trial that has yet to take place for her murder, though the main suspect has been in prison for nearly 5 years.
