    Shark Arm Case | The Shark That Vomited a Gangland Murder

    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. Get the podcast ad-free: https://www.redwebpod.com On a national holiday in 1935, crowds gathered at a Sydney aquarium to marvel at a newly captured tiger shark.
