Linda Hazzard billed herself as a "fasting specialist" despite no formal medical degree and little training. She believed that all diseases came from food, and starving was the only cure. She opened her “sanitarium” in Olalla, Washington in the early 1900s, calling it Wilderness Heights. But residents of the small town called it "Starvation Heights" because of the countless patients who went to see Hazzard... and vanished. Both figuratively and literally.

This is a story of murder.... but are y'all feeling some cultiness too?? "Paging Dr. Hazzard"! Did they only say that on Gray's Anatomy? Were they ever paging doctors? When did they stop?? That's not what this episode is about. AHDH!
