Summary

This week, Sara and Danny kick off the episode with a brief update on the Madeleine McCann story, for which we might be beginning to get some answers for. Then, they dig into the episode, taking us all the way back to the 1920s to talk about Ruth Snyder. They kick it off with some background facts about Ruth and her husband Albert, and the affair she led with a salesman that was the beginning of the chain of events that would lead to the murder of her husband. They also talk all about the sensational trial that followed it, and the outcome of Ruthless Ruth and her accomplice.

0:00.0	Welcome back everybody. It's not another true crime podcast. I'm Sarah Lovine.
0:07.6	And I'm Danny Murphy. You know where your partner is in wine, crime and time. And we let it go back
0:11.7	in time for a lot of these cases now. We sure do. And we will continue doing that. But first
0:16.8	I there's a brief update on the Madeline McCann. Oh, thank. So basically all we all we know right now
0:24.3	is that the girl Julia who believes she's Madeline McCann has submitted her DNA for testing.
0:31.8	And I read this on the New York Post apparently what they're going to do is their first going to do
0:36.7	like a sort of 23 and me type situation to see if she's even like British. Wow. And if so,
0:44.8	then I think they're going to contact the Portugal like authorities to like because I don't think
0:51.3	they're immediately testing her DNA like against the McCanns. I guess that's to like kind of not
0:56.6	get their hopes up extra or is it just like a new maybe a protocol or I have no idea. I mean,
1:02.4	it's I'm kind of like well, why not just tested because I feel like that's less tests, but who knows?
1:08.1	Because then it's like, okay, she's British. Next step. Like why it's now becoming like so much more
1:13.3	drawn out. I agree. I also am like, how does that even, how does that work? I don't understand

1:36.9	we'll have updates on that soon. I'm also like, well, let's say you're like my parents are British,
1:42.8	but like maybe my grandparents aren't like whatever. Like how is that going to show up in DNA?
1:50.2	I don't even know. That's true. I'm just so very Irish that I don't really, it just kind of throws
1:54.8	a potato at me whenever I do any of that test. I love that. But that's that's that on that. So we'll
2:02.8	have to see what happens there. But otherwise we are we're going to continue to go back in time.
2:09.6	Danny, you found this case. How did you find it? I found this case because I was looking on,
