And the police found out about this because a call came in, 1.30 a.m.

0:06.1

And it said there'll be a man down in the water dead, the Giggler.

0:11.2

Ah!

0:12.3

At the time of Washington and news in a connection there'll be a man down to the water dead.

0:20.8

The Gigler. Ah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. There'll be a man down to the water. Good. The people are...

0:22.6

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Today's new episode of Crawl Space, we speak with return guest and old friend Christopher

0:56.1

Daly about a very wild story from 1960s in Boston, Massachusetts.

1:03.6

It's the story of serial killer, The Giggler, Kenneth Harrison.

1:08.1

And Christopher Daly brings this to us as part of his presentation series.

1:14.8

And you can find out more about what he's up to at daily history.com.

1:20.0

We always love having Christopher come on the show because, again, he is so well researched.

1:25.2

He found a serial killer that we'd never heard of. We start off by just listening to this guy, call the police to report a dead body in Boston, Massachusetts, and he ends it by giving his signature tagline, the giggler, with a giggle. But what we focus on here is the fact that there's not a whole lot known about this guy. So this is the great thing about bringing Christopher on the show is that he introduces a serial killer to us. He seemed like a serial killer that was going to have great potential. And it just kind of got squandered. Not like we needed that in the world, but it's very interesting to have these topics discussed, especially when someone like Christopher

2:01.6

can bring them to the table, because I would love to find out from the listeners if there's

2:05.1

anybody out there who knows more about this. Because there is very little on this guy, and

2:09.6

we would love to know, like, is this it? Did he just kind of blip into the true crime world

2:15.2

for a short period of time and then disappear, or is there more to it?

2:18.7

Yeah, he definitely could have gotten away with more murders because oddly two of his murders

2:24.2

were not considered murders at the time. So he could have gone on probably killing people like

2:29.8

that and not even coming under suspicion for some time. So pretty interesting story.

2:35.2

Okay, so please let us know what you think on YouTube or Spotify

2:39.5

and follow us on social media at crawlspace podcast or crawl space pod.

2:44.6

We're going to break quick here for commercial,
