About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of Cora Crippen and the subsequent trial of her husband, Dr. Crippen, while examining how modern technology questions the historical conviction.
Cora Crippen goes missing after hosting a party at her home with her husband. He says she ran off to America with another man, but her friends don't believe it. An investigation unearths a concerning find that brings Dr. Crippen to court. It seems cut and dry, but new technology over 100 years later raises way more questions.
