Summary

People may know Dr. Crippen's name, but many perhaps don't know why. Dr. Crippen was a notorious killer, hanged for the murder of his wife in 1910. He allegedly poisoned and dismembered Corrine "Cora" Turner (stage name: Belle Elmore), hid her remains under the basement floor, and fled for North America with his lover. What led him to commit his crimes and how was he caught?CREDITS: Producer: Poppy Damon Artwork: George Leigh Music: Dan Wansell CONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_Pod Instagram: bloodties_pod Email: [email protected] BOOK: Sarah Jane by James Sallis
