Prash's Murder Map: True Crime Podcast

Jack the Ripper’s identity remains one of true crime’s greatest mysteries. In this episode, we explore Whitechapel butcher Jacob Levy, a compelling suspect in the murders of the Canonical Five. Could he be a better suspect than the likes of Charles Lechmere, Montague Druitt, Kosminsky and others? Levy’s life was steeped in tragedy and turmoil. Living near key murder sites, his violent tendencies, mental instability, and descent into paranoia following a syphilis diagnosis raise chilling questions. Could his butchery skills and local knowledge tie him to the Ripper’s gruesome crimes? Was Levy the true face behind the world’s most notorious serial killer? Listen now for a fresh look at this dark chapter in history.For news about my books and free true crime blog posts, check out my website www.prashganendran.comIf you would like to support the show by making a one-off donation please visit https://www.paypal.me/prashsmurdermap  Sources: Ancestry.com Old Bailey Court Record London Evening Standard, Wednesday 10 March 1886 Evening Mail, Friday 12 October 1888 https://forum.casebook.org/forum/ripper-discussions/suspects/levy-jacob/7873-jacob-levy-asylum-records Daily Telegraph, 12 October 1888 Reynolds News, 15 September 1946

In the summer of 1887, Victorian London’s East End, fraught with poverty and unrest, became the setting for a bizarre and senseless true crime. Miriam Angel, an impoverished Jewish immigrant who was six months pregnant, was found poisoned in a locked room, her body lying on the bed. Incredibly, a fellow tenant in the same lodging house, Israel Lipski, was discovered hiding beneath it. The case, with its puzzling lack of motive, divided the public. Lipski’s infamy lingered, with his name even becoming a racial slur—shouted just minutes before Elizabeth Stride’s murder during Jack the Ripper’s reign of terror a year later.Sources:The Trials of Israel Lipski by Martin L FriedlandOld Bailey Court TranscriptThe Salisbury Times - Saturday 27 August 1887South Wales Daily News - Saturday 20 August 1887The People - Sunday 28 August 1887Swansea and Glamorgan Herald - Wednesday 14 August 1889   Music: "Unanswered Questions" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "Long Note Two" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "Long Note Three" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

In 1892, the dismembered body of Annie Pritchard was discovered in a ditch in East Haddon, England, leading to an investigation that linked her death to Andrew MacRae, a man with whom she had an affair. MacRae, who had been living with his wife and children in Birmingham, had moved to Northampton with Annie, where they set up a home, and he eventually murdered her after she gave birth to their child. MacRae was convicted of murder and hanged in January 1893, while Annie was buried in East Haddon Cemetery, her grave marked by a headstone funded by public subscription.But questions remain....was that really Annie Pritchard's body? and was Andrew MacRae the killer?For news about my books and free true crime blog posts, check out my website www.prashganendran.com.

Joseph Waller was born in St Mary Cray near Chislehurst, Kent, in 1857 and seemed by all accounts to be a perfectly ordinary child. He aspired to join the police force and went to London to become a constable with the Metropolitan Police, having no inkling that his dream profession would lead to his downfall.

This is the curious case of a killer who handed himself in more than 20 years after committing murder. What made him come forward after so long, when he could have continued to lay low, safe in the knowledge that he was unlikely to ever be found, in the days long before the advent of DNA?For news about my books and free true crime blog posts, check out my website www.prashganendran.com.SourcesBondeson Jan, ‘Victorian Murders’, 2017, Amberley PublishingChelmsford Chronicle - Friday 03 July 1857Morning Advertiser - Thursday 16 July 1857Leeds Times - Saturday 18 July 1857 https://www.digitalpanopticon.org/life?id=obpdef1-147-18551217 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/187716259 https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?name=18791020

In December 1938, Ernest Percival Key never made it home for Christmas. His body was discovered by his own son, with only one notable clue left behind—a lone bowler hat, possibly dropped by his killer. But would this single item be enough to unlock the mystery of this true crime case and uncover the person responsible for this brutal crime?

In 1803, Hammersmith was gripped by fear after multiple sightings of a supposed ghost. Amid the panic, a vigilante named Francis Smith took drastic action, believing he had shot the ghost—only to discover he had killed an innocent man, bricklayer Thomas Millwood. What followed was a trial at the Old Bailey, an unexpected twist, and a revelation about who was behind the ghostly scare. This true story became a landmark case in British legal history.

This little known true crime case is set in the rural village of Curry Mallet in Somerset. The year is 1933. The crime is murder. In a family which harbours a dark secret and incestuous relationships, a tragedy is about to take place.Sources: Daily Mirror 25 March 1933 Daily Mirror 9 June 1933 Illustrated Police News - Thursday 09 March 1933Music:ES_Exile - Lo Mimieux "Long Note Two" and “Lightless Dawn” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

How do you go about finding someone who walks round a corner and disappears, seemingly without a trace? This is what happened in the curious case of Benjamin Bathurst…

In World War II London, most people came together to fight for victory, whether on the frontlines, in factories, or on farms. But there were some who took advantage of the chaos of war to indulge in their own depraved desires, hoping they would get away with their crimes by slipping away into the blackout, with fewer police on the streets to catch them. Most people wearing a military uniform automatically inspired trust and respect for the sacrifice they were making for their country. But as 21-year-old Iris Deeley tragically found out on Valentines Day 1944, not everyone wearing medals could be trusted…https://prashganendran.comSources:Daily MirrorUK Prison Commission RecordsNational ArchivesMusic: Unusual Suspects Eternal Moment by Farrell Wootten

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. Sources Blackburn Standard, April 1 & April 8 1876 Cheshire Observer - Saturday 01 August 1868 Daily News, April 8 1876 Essex Weekly News - Friday 23 April 1869 Famous Crimes Past & Present, 1903 IPN, April 15 & May 6 1876 Kentish Gazette - Tuesday 26 January 1869 Liverpool Daily Post - Tuesday 01 August 1876 & Friday 21 August 1868 Lloyds Weekly Newspaper, April 9 1876 Magnet (London) - Monday 14 August 1876 Old Bailey Trial Account 17 August 1868 Penny Illustrated Paper 22 April 1876 Reynolds Newspaper, April 16, 23, 30 1876, & 24 May 1868 Rochdale Times - Saturday 29 July 1876 Sheffield Daily Telegraph - Tuesday 15 August 1876 Music: "Long Note Two" and “Long Note Three” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Eternal Moment by Farrell Wooten

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?Update 29th May 202472 year old Malcolm Fairley A.K.A The Fox died at HMP Hull yesterday (Tuesday 28th May)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1dde87035poNote: Thank you to those of you who have correctly pointed out that Malcolm Fairley should not be referred to as a "Geordie", as he was from Sunderland, which makes him colloquially known as a "Mackem". This is a common error and derived from the Brampton victim stating on 18 August 1984 that they recognized his accent as being from "somewhere in the northeast" and erroneously referring to him as a Geordie. I quoted it from there without fully understanding the differences. Apologies for the inaccuracy.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 three 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.

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.
