Here's another collection of short but gruesome vintage true crime cases from the 1800s. Let's go back in time for a whistle-stop tour of three Victorian crimes that are intriguing, shocking, and little known, including a spate of unidentified body parts which appeared all over Norwich, a sinister servant who bludgeoned his employer with a rolling pin, and the first murder case ever to be solved by a bloodhound.

It was inevitable that George Joseph Smith would end up in jail one day. The only question was, how long would it take for his cunning crimes to be uncovered? George was a master of deception who swindled a string of lovers out of their life savings and ensured he was named as the beneficiary in the wills of his many wives. He had a curious obsession with the sea, and it was only fitting that his method of murder would also feature water…Thanks for listening!

In 1984, a serial burglar and rapist was at large in England, his crimes spanning several Home Counties as well as the northeast of the country. He was armed, masked and dangerous, and he had an unusual calling card – in every house he broke into, he built himself a blanket fort in the living room and made himself at home, watching television and drinking cups of tea. His habit of den-building and the way he slunk off into the countryside after his assaults soon led to him being given the nickname ‘The Fox'. People were fearful, and the police had a tough job on their hands as his attacks crossed multiple jurisdictions. They were learning more about him each time he struck, but they needed to catch him fast before his violence escalated. Who was The Fox, and how would they find him?Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I'm bringing you a collection of short but grisly cases from the 1800s, which on their own would be too short for an episode, but they're too intriguing not to share so I've put four of them together. Let's go back in time for a whistle-stop tour of three crimes ranging from the brutal to the mysterious. If you're looking for murders involving deceptions, an unscrupulous businessman who exterminated an entire family, an execution by guillotine, a strange letter, the death of a living scarecrow and more, this ‘Penny Dreadfuls' episode has you covered with these bitesize blood-soaked crimes.Thanks for listening!

When a pair of legs washed up in Clifford Pier Harbour in Singapore, the police knew something was very wrong. That same week, a South African tourist who had travelled to the country to buy the latest electronics was reported missing. He would never make it home. Somehow, in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world and a draconian criminal justice system, he fell prey to British serial killer John Scripps, who travelled the world murdering unsuspecting tourists and butchering their bodies. Who was Scripps, and how did the police track him down?Thanks for listening!

What kind of killer could chisel out the panel of a door and creep inside without waking a soul? How was he so light on his feet that nobody heard him coming on the dark, moonless nights on which he struck? That's what the people of New Orleans were asking themselves when their city was terrorised by a mysterious Axeman who targeted Italian grocers, leaving nothing behind but blood, fear, and a discarded weapon - and taking nothing with him except the secret of his identity. He came and went like a phantom, spreading a wave of brutality through the City of Festivals that would not easily be forgotten.

Why did it take so long for the killer of 16-year-old Lynn Siddons to be brought to justice? This case involved a man who was obsessed with Jack the Ripper and blamed his crimes on his stepson, and a police force who were woefully inefficient in tackling the case. Lynn's tenacious grandmother was forced to fight for the truth, in an 18-year legal battle that no bereaved family should ever have to endure.Thanks for listening!

It should have been obvious that for school cleaner Vincent Stanford, spying on girls in the bathroom was just the beginning. When he began stalking a 12-year-old pupil and amassed hundreds of photos of her, it was only a matter of time before he escalated to rape and murder. His victim was dedicated teacher Stephanie Scott, whose life he cut short just days before her wedding, in a case that shocked a small New South Wales community.Thanks for listening!

In the Peak District in 1977, the ‘Year of the Knife' continued with a robbery that shocked a quiet village, culminating in the murder of a bank clerk and the kidnap of his colleague.

A birdwatching getaway in the Peak District that should have been uneventful was the inspiration for this episode, with my wife and I accidentally choosing to stay just a few hundred yards from the scene of a notorious set of murders, which we learned about by chance. It seems that true crime follows me everywhere… (my wife still doesn't believe that I really didn't know when we booked it!)The lives of an escaped criminal and an unsuspecting family converge in a dramatic and bloody home invasion set against the cold, bleak, back-drop of Beeley Moor in 1977, a period which would become known as the ‘Year of the Knife'. This episode covers the Pottery Cottage murders and culminates in an explosive finale, while the next instalment will explore the Gunn Hill killings, which took place just a month later.************************************************************************************** Thanks for listening!

It was Christmas of 1970, and Charles King and Christopher Lowery were watching a motorcycle race at Mack Park in Hamilton, Australia. Most 18-year-olds at the race that day were innocently chatting about bikes and beer. But Lowery and King were not most 18-year-olds, and they were talking about what it would be like to kill a girl.

We've made it to the end of a gruelling, terrifying, emotional journey through London's East End in the Autumn of Terror of 1888. Thank you so much for joining me as we explored each of the Jack the Ripper murders and the historical context of the time. Now, we conclude by reviewing some of the key suspects in this mini-series wrap-up. Can we ever uncover who the perplexing, outrageous, shadowy figure really was – that killer whose nickname everyone knows, but whose real identity remains a mystery?If you'd like to read more about Jack the Ripper, then please check out my book Jack the Ripper: Straight for the Jugular available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardcover formats.

Join me for the penultimate episode of this mini-series where we’ll examine the death of the final canonical victim, in a bloodbath so unimaginable that it has become one of the most memorable Ripper murders, symbolic of his spiralling descent closer and closer to hell. We’ll look at Mary Jane Kelly’s life and try to understand the strange testimony of the witnesses as we encounter a visitor dressed in astrakhan, a man with a sinister black bag bothering women in the area, a missing key and more.***Don’t forget to rate and review on your favourite Podcatcher***No part of this episode may be reproduced or copied in any form without the written permission of Prash’s Murder Map.Thanks for listening!

Let’s look at the second part of the so-called Double Event that chilled the people of Whitechapel to the bone on 30th September 1888. Catherine Eddowes was arrested for her own safety after being found drunk in the street, and ironically met her demise just 400 yards from the police station minutes after her release, her corpse mutilated in the most vicious and disgusting way that had yet been seen. ***Don’t forget to rate and review on your favourite Podcatcher***Thanks for listening!

We travel back to Minnesota in 1912 to discover the tragic case of a young woman slain just yards from home: so close to safety, yet so far from salvation. She was popular and hardworking, with a loving, happy family, and no enemies. So how was it possible that a man confessed multiple times to killing 21-year-old Alice Matthews, but nobody was ever taken to trial? Thanks for listening!

Most murderers try to hide their crimes. But this one wrote a book about it. Join me on a journey to Poland as we learn about the strange case of the failed intellectual, businessman and novelist who brutally killed his ex-wife’s lover in a jealous rage. He thought he was smarter than the police. But he was wrong. Recommended Podcast: Morbidology, check out https://morbidology.com/morbidology-podcast/Thanks for listening!

When Quakers Hill Nursing Home hired a new member of staff without conducting proper background checks, they had no idea of the carnage that would follow, as their night shift nurse Roger Dean became one of the worst mass murderers in Australian history. Murder is always distressing, but when the victims are some of society’s most vulnerable members, it becomes even more poignant.Recommended Podcast: Brew Crime https://brewcrime.com/Thanks for listening!

Last time, in the first part of this double episode, I told the story of the disguise-wearing, letter-writing serial killer operating in California’s Bay Area in 1968 and 69, who christened himself Zodiac. His choice of victim changed, as did his MO, so how do you catch a killer whose only motive is achieving infamy and mocking the police? Join me for Part 2, where we’ll analyse the killer’s behaviour and review some of the popular suspects and theories, and we’ll hear from Zodiac expert Michael Butterfield. It’s a case that’s now over 50 years old, so will the killer ever be named?Thanks for listening!

In 1989, students at the Ecole Polytechique in Montreal were looking forward to their Christmas break. But the hopes and dreams of 14 ambitious young women were shattered that day by a gunman on an ideologically driven rampage. We’ll pay tribute to the dead and we’ll also look at why he did it. Marc Lépine wanted to be a martyr, but he made himself into a monster. As we’ll learn, things are rarely black and white. Thanks for listening!

He said he hated women…but then he became one. In this episode, we delve deep into psychology, profiling and gender dysphoria in the case of the Frankston Killer, who terrorised a quiet suburb of Australia in the early 90s but could be released in 2023.

The American frontier could be a perilous place, but most stout-hearted travellers were expecting nothing worse than tumbleweed, rattlesnakes and boredom on their long ride. When people started to go missing in the Osage area, suspicion fell on a family who were not all that they seemed.
