The Unsolved Murder of Maria Ridulph

This week on Lipgloss and Lobotomies, we kick things off in the uncanny world of modern cinema, unpacking Bugonia and Together—two films that explore paranoia, control, and the creeping fear that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. From Emma Stone’s unsettling performance in Bugonia to the quiet, intimate dread of Together, we talk about why these stories linger and share our opinions no one asked for.

Then, we shift from fiction to a chilling real-life scandal buried in Chicago’s past. In the 1970s, graves were robbed and bodies were stolen—not for ritual, but for profit. We break down how human remains were illegally sold to medical facilities, the loopholes that allowed it to happen, and the families left without answers.

We close the episode with a case that still haunts the Midwest: the unsolved murder of Maria Ridulph. Decades later, her case raises painful questions about justice, memory, and how some truths refuse to stay buried.

From psychological horror to real-world atrocities, this episode confronts the uncomfortable line between exploitation and humanity—and what happens when the dead are treated as disposable.
