In this mid-season episode, I'm joined by Zevon Odelberg of Kinda Murdery, who will tell me (and you) the story of Hawley Harvey Crippen.
Dr Crippen, or Dr Devil's Breath, was an American homoeopath charged with murdering his wife, Cora "Belle" Crippen, in London in 1910.
Scotland Yard found the torso of a human body at Crippen's house in Holloway, and it was identified as Cora's, despite it being headless, limbless and boneless.
Crippen was hanged for the murder on November 23, 1910, but a recent case review shows that mitochondrial DNA confirms that the remains were not those of Cora Crippen.
The Court of Appeal refused to hear the case to pardon Crippen posthumously.
Zevon also discusses the 2019 murder of Adrian Murphy by Joel Osei and Diana Cristea.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

0:03.5 | The Food Cry Podcast. |
0:18.6 | Hello everyone and welcome to British murders, the podcast that focuses exclusively on British murder cases and serial killers. |
0:26.1 | This week we're kind of going transatlantic, I would say. |
0:29.8 | I've got my friend Zeven Odleberg here from Kind of Murdery podcast. |
0:34.3 | And I believe we're going to do some American, British, true crime, kind of murdery story. |
0:41.3 | Zevin, welcome to the show. Hey, Stuart. Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here. |
0:46.3 | And yes, kind of murdery, my podcast, we do tell American murder stories. Now, I'm not sure I ever |
0:52.5 | made the conscious decision to not tell a murder |
0:55.2 | story in another country, but so far, I've only told American murder stories. I grew up very |
1:01.2 | rurally. And so when I first started podcasting, my instinct was to look for stories in very rural |
1:06.8 | places, of which America, with its vast expanses, is chock full of deserts and backwoods, |
1:13.1 | etc. |
1:13.3 | So I think I just kind of naturally fell into telling American-only stories. |
1:18.5 | And then, as you know, found your show and loved it and reached out to you and now we're |
1:23.5 | friends and that's that. |

1:28.8 | an American murderer who killed someone in Britain. Tell us about sort of your history and your |
1:34.9 | background. How did you get into doing this kind of thing? So I spent 15 years as a Hollywood |
1:41.0 | executive working at Fox and Disney in television and film distribution, living in Los Angeles. |
1:46.4 | And over the course of that time, I made various friendships in show business. |
