For Marius Gustavson, a Norwegian man in London, it began with self-castration. From there, his obsession metastasized into a full-blown operation whereby he performed extreme body modifications on dozens of vulnerable men. Marius filmed the mutilations and streamed them on a pay-per-view website, where he also sold severed genitalia to paying customers. His hunting ground was the “nullo” community, composed of individuals seeking genital removal as a radical form of body modification. Many struggled with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) and turned to Gustavson for help. Instead, they got mutilation, exploitation, and a predator who feasted on their vulnerability — sometimes literally - as Gustavson went on to cannibalize some of the very testicles he cut off. This case is almost too gruesome to believe. But, it isn’t just about mutilation: it’s about control, sadism, consent twisted into theater, and the terrifying lengths people will go to reshape themselves when the wrong hands hold the scalpel.

Please listen with caution. In June 2005, in the quiet town of Benejúzar, Spain, 51-year-old María del Carmen García walked into a bar, canister of gasoline in hand, and doused a 63-year-old man standing at the counter. Then, she struck a match. Eleven days later, the man was dead from his injuries — and María was hailed as a hero by thousands. Because years earlier, that same man had raped Maria's 13-year-old daughter at knifepoint, and now she was delivering her own brand of justice. To some, María was considered a dangerous criminal guilty of first degree murder who crossed an unforgivable line by taking a human life. To others, she was a mother pushed past her breaking point, and an admirable vigilante stepping in where the system had failed. To this day, this shocking case remains one of Spain’s most fiercely debated examples of vigilantism and continues to force uncomfortable questions about the morality of vigilantism and when, or if, taking the law into your own hands is ever justified.

She was supposed to care for and nurture new life, but instead, she delivered death. In post-war Tokyo, Miyuki Ishikawa—one of the most prolific serial killers in Japanese history—was a respected midwife, trusted by desperate mothers and overwhelmed families. But behind her professional smile lurked something incredibly depraved. Over the course of several years in the 1940s, Miyuki deliberately allowed over 100 infants in her "care" to die of neglect, starvation, and hypothermia. Then, she charged grieving parents for the privilege of secretly killing their babies. When the truth finally came out, Japan was horrified, and the case ignited legal reforms that still reverberate today. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.

Join our Patreon family for ad free episodes, exclusive bonus content, early access to Girl On Gore episodes, access to BTS, private group chats, merch discounts, and to guest co-host with Investigator Slater! www.Patreon.com/PsychopediaPod In this episode, I'm joined by special guest Kaelyn Moore of Heart Starts Pounding! Beneath the glittering facade of New Orleans high society in the early 1800s, Madame Delphine LaLaurie's lavish mansion concealed one of the most gruesome crimes in American history. Behind locked attic doors, enslaved men and women were chained, mutilated, starved, and grotesquely experimented on for Madame LaLaurie's sadistic pleasure. Some victims had their bones reset to take on non-human form, others were flayed, disemboweled, or fitted with crude surgical contraptions. This wasn’t punishment: this was depravity wrapped in silk and perfumed with civility, masquerading as refinement while it feasted on human suffering. To this day, locals say the mansion is cursed. Visitors report cold spots, disembodied cries, and the faint clatter of chains dragging across the floorboards - echoes of suffering too violent to stay buried… Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater @psychopediapod Heart Starts Pounding can be found here: @heartstartspounding www.heartstartspounding.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
