A Severed Arm, a Living Shark, and a Murder Without a Body | Shark Arm Case

Unpacking the bizarre true crime case of an Australian aquarium's tiger shark that vomited up a severed arm which spawned an investigation into fraud, conspiracy, and murder: the Shark Arm Case. Note: Cameras will be back next week. On a national holiday in 1935, crowds gathered at a Sydney aquarium to marvel at a newly captured tiger shark. Awe quickly turned to horror when the predator regurgitated a human arm; perfectly preserved and bearing a distinct tattoo. Forensics would reveal the limb wasn't bitten off, but rather removed with a sharp tool. Further clues led police into a tangled web of fraud, murder, and conspiracy. Today, we explore the puzzling Shark Arm Case. Sensitive topics: Animal mutilation, mentions of suicide, attempted suicide, murder, dismemberment.
