S6 Ep23: Dr. Crippen and the Coal Cellar
About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of a woman and the subsequent manhunt for her suspected murderer, Dr. Crippen.
Weeks after a woman's mysterious disappearance, a ship's captain noticed something off about two of his passengers — a quiet, bespectacled man and his teenage "son." He couldn't shake the feeling he'd seen that face somewhere recently. So he did something no ship's captain had ever been able to do before: He alerted police, instantly, from the middle of the ocean that two murder suspects might be aboard his vessel. What followed was one of the strangest manhunts in criminal history, and a case that would later split a forensic field down the middle more than 100 years later.
