  • Summary

  • Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of Linda Hazzard, also known as the “Starvation Doctor.” Deluded by her belief that fasting cures all diseases, Hazzard killed at least 14 people in the 20th century by subjecting them to fatally restrictive diets. And when her patients were on the wealthier side, she used their physical weakness to her financial advantage. Candice explores how a childhood sickness might have contributed to Hazzard’s harmful health beliefs, and explains how a mix of greed and narcissism emboldened her to starve people to death.
