This one is creepy. Carl Tanzler worked at a hospital and met Helen Milagro de Hoyos, who was diagnosed with tuberculosis and ultimately died in 1931. Two years later, Tanzler removed Hoyos' body from the cemetery. He tried to preserve it by attaching her bones together with wire, placing wax-soaked cloth over her skin, and sticking rags in her body to help keep its shape. In 1940, Hoyos' sister heard a rumor that Tanzler was "sleeping with the disinterred body of her sister." She confronted him, and Hoyos' body was ultimately found.
