The Chilling Case of Dr. Crippen – A Murder That Shocked Edwardian Britain

The Chilling Case of Dr. Crippen – A Murder That Shocked Edwardian Britain

In this episode of the UK Crime Podcast, we unravel the infamous story of Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen — the mild-mannered homeopath whose name became forever linked with murder, betrayal, and international scandal.

When his wife, Cora, mysteriously vanished in 1910, suspicion quickly fell on Crippen. What followed was one of the most sensational murder investigations in British history, involving false identities, a dramatic escape attempt, and the first-ever use of wireless telegraphy in a criminal manhunt.

Join us as we dissect the evidence, explore the secrets behind the walls of 39 Hilldrop Crescent, and question whether Dr. Crippen was truly the monster history made him out to be — or a man caught in a web of Victorian-era morality and media hysteria.
