In this episode we discuss the Acid Bath Murderer, 1950s house prices, penny arcades, pointless pandas and Madame Tussauds.
On February 20, 1949, police in London arrested thirty-nine-year-old John George Haigh on suspicion of his connection to Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow who'd gone missing a few days earlier. Haigh had a long criminal history of fraud and theft, so when police discovered that Haigh had recently pawned several items belonging to the missing woman, they naturally believed he had robbed and possibly killed Duran-Deacon. The truth, they soon learned, was far worse.After days of interrogation, Haigh eventually confessed to the murder of Olive Durand-Deacon, telling detectives he had drained her of her blood, which he intended to drink, then disposed of her body in a forty-five gallon barrel of acid—but she was far from the first of his victims. By the time his case went to trial, investigators had connected Haigh to six victims, all dissolved in acid, and he'd confessed to three additional murders that were unconfirmed. In his confession, Haigh claimed he'd murdered his victims in order to drink their blood; though, it's far more likely his motive was primarily greed. Nevertheless, Haigh's claim was immediately seized upon by the British tabloids, who labeled him a “vampire killer” and provided endless sensational coverage of the arrest, trial, and his eventual execution.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Red wine, ice cream, and a warm bath are usually ways to unwind after a long day, but in the twisted mind of John George Haigh, they became tools of terror. Born in 1909 in Yorkshire, England, Haigh was raised in a strict, ultra-religious household. His early years were marked by loneliness and nightmares, which foreshadowed his later descent into crime. After a failed marriage and several stints in jail for fraud, Haigh devised a gruesome method to dispose of his victims: sulfuric acid baths. His first known victim was his former employer, William McSwan, whom Haigh murdered and dissolved in acid. He then turned to McSwan's parents, eliminating them in the same manner to gain access to their wealth. Haigh continued his deadly spree, targeting wealthy acquaintances like Dr. Archibald Henderson and his wife, Rose, in 1948. His final victim, Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow, led to his downfall when detectives linked her disappearance to Haigh. Investigators found incriminating evidence in his workshop, including remains that survived the acid baths. Despite Haigh's claims of insanity driven by recurring nightmares, the court found him guilty on all counts. In August 1949, Haigh, known as the Acid Bath Murderer, was executed, his dark imagination and horrific crimes coming to a fitting end.SOURCES…Steven Casale, The-Line-Up.com: https://the-line-up.com/acid-bath-murderer-john-haighMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

When Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow, disappeared in February of 1949, her "friend" John George Haigh, arrived at the police station to report her missing. Unfortunately, he was also the one responsible for her disappearance. Meg explains how John became known as the serial killer, the Acid Bath Murderer.
This week, we're traveling back to early 1900s England to discuss John Haigh (aka the Acid Bath Murderer). This guy had a serious motivation for money and other people's things.

John George Haigh was a lazy bastard. Instead of finding gainful employment, he decided he was going to victimize wealthy people. He had gone to jail for stealing earlier in his life, and while he was in prison, he learned forgery which would help him impersonate his victims after he murdered them. He ended up killing six people before he was finally caught, and he disposed of his victims in a bath of acid, a-la "Breaking Bad" style.

On the surface, John Haigh was a pretty good choice for those wanting a partner. He had money, dressed well, and would eagerly treat you to some fancy ass afternoon tea or take you to a show at the kinda posh, Royal Albert Hall. In reality, John Haigh was arrogant, a massive bullshitter, and would happily kill you once he got bored of you. With acid being his preferred method of getting rid of your body.

In the years following World War II, serial killer John George Haigh committed five perfect murders, using sulphuric acid to dissolve his victims into soup. His sixth murder, however, was hastily done, and led to his arrest, a trial and eventual execution. The case captivated the United Kingdom, especially when Haigh claimed he had drunk a glass of each victim's blood before disposing of their bodies. My guest is Gordon Lowe, author of "The Acid Bath Murders: The Trials and Liquidations of John George Haigh". He walks us through Lowe's murderous life and eventual death at the hands of one of Britain's most famous executioners. More about the author can be discovered at his website: http://www.gordonloweauthor.co.uk/
This week, in a listener written episode (thanks Daniel!), we head back in time, to the 1940's, as we tell the story of one of John Haigh, more commonly knows as 'The Acid Bath Murderer'...
