Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen. Scrapbook.
Published on Jun 5, 2017
Inspector Walter Dew discovered rotting boneless human remains in Dr Crippen’s cellar. Ethel Le Neve had an affair with Dr Crippen for several years but she literally stepped in his wife’s shoes when she began wearing the missing Cora Crippen’s clothes and jewellery. In the makeshift grave, besides the putrid flesh, the police found Cora’s Crippen’s hair, and a label from a pyjama jacket that limited the time of burial to within weeks of Cora Crippen’s disappearance.
After twenty-five minutes deliberation the jury found Dr Crippen guilty of his wife’s murder. John Ellis, executioner, hanged Hawley Harvey Crippen in Pentonville prison at 9.00 am on 23rd November 1910.

Dr Crippen's wife. I've found her on the stage before she arrived in England. It's a satisfying feeling when hours of research yields a result. And what this tells me about Dr Crippen? He's a liar. Definition of serial killer: Murdering three or people over a period of time.
Dr Crippen is a serial slayer.
