164. Holmesburg Prison & Bank of America Heist (D.B. Tuber)

Creeps and Crimes

Happy Thursday, Besties and Happy Almost Thanksgiving!! Life has been a little crazy these last few weeks and we have officially started the holiday pre-recording process, so we found it very important that we have a thorough catch up session and confess what we are the CEOs of this week! Head over to our instagram (@creepsandcrimespodcast) to make your CEO confessions for the week before we get creepy with you! Morgan starts us off with the terrifying "conspiracy theory turned true" case of the Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. After an athlete's foot breakout shook the prison, officials went searching for help to treat the outbreak and got into contact with Dr. Albert Kligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor of dermatology and the man credited with co-inventing Retin-A. No one knew what horrors would follow, when a simple "partnership" with the doctor turned the prison into a full blown experiment with the "acres of skin" he saw there. Of course he couldn't have done this alone, so Johnson & Johnson, Dow Chemicals, and the US Department of Defense had to join in on the "fun" (what's up Geneva?). Even after years of these horrific experiments coming to light, no one has been truly held accountable. Taylar then covers the case of "D.B. Tuber" or the 2008 Monroe, WA Bank of America Heist that shook this small and safe town to its core. Though this is a solved case, it is one of the most interesting and wild investigations of all time! Every single detail of this crime was thought out and deliberately executed in the most "perfect crime" sort of way, however these masterminds did not account for the superpowers of Allen Dean, a local unhoused man that changed the lives of so many!!
