Listen Now - Dr. Death: Bad Magic

0:00 Hey, listeners, I have a new show that I think you're going to love. From Wondery and hosted by Laura Biel, the critically acclaimed Doctor Death is back with a new season, Doctor Death, Bad Magic, a story of miraculous cures, magic and murder. When a charismatic hotshot doctor announced revolutionary treatments for cancer and HIV, it seemed like the world had been given a miracle cure. Medical experts rushed to praise doctor Sir Hotgumruku, a genius who is the co founder of a cutting edge biotech company. Hopeful patients and families from across the globe turned to him for one last chance. But when the company stock skyrocketed to over half a billion dollars, a team of private researchers dive into Sir Hott's background and they begin to suspect the brilliant doctor is hiding a shocking secret. And when a man is found dead in the snow, with his wrist shackled and bullet casings speckling the snowbank, Sir Hot would no longer be known for world changing treatments. He'd be known as a fraud and a key suspect and a Grizzly Murder. I'm about to play a clip from Doctor Death, Bad Magic. Follow Doctor Death on the Wandery app or wherever you get your podcasts. It was late on a freezing Saturday night in northern Vermont. Greg Davis was in his bedroom with his wife Melissa, when they heard someone outside. Greg opened the door and saw a man standing there,

1:34 wearing a jacket and mask with the emblem of the US Marshal. He was holding a rifle. Behind him in the driveway was a white Ford Explorer with emergency lights flashing in its dash. The Marshal said he had a warrant for Greg's arrest on racketeering charges, had been instructed to take him into custody and transport him to Virginia. Greg couldn't have known what this was all about. He was working in waste management. His friends and family knew him as a father of six, a businessman, and a devout Christian. He went to his bedroom and told his pregnant wife what was happening, then packed a bag of clothes and walked out. Davis's twelve year old son watched from the upstairs window as the car pulled away. It was the last time he saw his father alive. The next afternoon, a car made its way along a quiet stretch of Peacham Road, about fifteen miles from Gregg Davis's farmhouse. It was another brutally cold day, barely cracking ten degrees. Just off the side of the road, the driver saw something out of place. It was a shape jutting out of the snowbank. There on the ground, partially covered by snow,

3:04 was a man's body. His wrists were shackled, twenty two caliber bullet wounds in his head and torso with bullet casing speckling the snowbank. Greg Davis was dead. How had all this happened? Prosecutors would later claim it all traced back to a man whose life had long been cloaked in mystery, and who was nowhere near Vermont that night. Well, good afternoon, everyone, It is truly my great pleasure to welcome Aenochian Biosciences. Less than a year after Greg Davis's body was found in the Vermont snow, the CEO of an emerging biotech company stood at a sleek white lectern in Times Square. The very first time I met Ronesi leva or chairman. He told me will be a Nasdaq listed company. Anochian Bioscience has now traded alongside tech giant like Apple and Microsoft, But the CEO wasn't taking the credit. The success of the company was largely thanks to a man who was standing just offstage. The man with the ideas that drove Anokian Biosciences to its six hundred million dollar valuation, a man with short dyed blonde hair, stubble and an impish smile. The very first time I met Sarah Kumruku, our scientific founder, he told me, will be the company that would put an end to HIV AIDS. Doctor sar

4:38 Hodgembrukchew, at just thirty six years old, Doctor Serhau was leading a mission to end HIV AIDS forever. He was also working on cures for cancer, hepatitis B, and a host of other diseases. His patients saw him as a miracle worker. His colleagues compared him to Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla and Einstein in one and the same person. But in a few years he wouldn't be known for world changing treatments. He would be known as a fraud and a key suspect in a Grizzly Murder.
