Dr. Crippen & the Body in the Basement | That Chapter Podcast

[@ceegee1706]

I like hearing Keith get more comfortable with us. The guy has a great laugh!

[@miafig7972]

These help me fall asleep.. as weird as it is, and i continue listening while I'm awake. Never stop

[@sugarcrash315]

Hearing Mike and Keith have so much silliness in them before they get started brings me joy 💙

[@WolfWaker]

Thanks Mike and Keith. I couldn't sleep this kept me company in a house full of sleeping people.

Hello from another person sitting up alone ❤ Up at 5 a.m in Tennessee 😊 stressing over a job interview today 😅

I wake at 3:30am for work and I work hard! Generally I sleep very well but I've been waking up with leg cramps the last couple of nights. I'm exhausted! Anyway so I'm up alone at 3:30am, out the door by 6! I get to listen to Mike and Keith all day! ☮️💜

Thank you Mike and friends for keeping me company :)

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

This one had a lot of fascinating extras, but this is my favorite one - "The character of Mr. Pugh in the radio drama Under Milk Wood, by Dylan Thomas, is described as sporting a "nicotine-eggyellow weeping walrus Victorian moustache worn thick and long in memory of Doctor Crippen". Throughout the play, he obsessively fantasises with murdering his wife, but never attempts to do so."

[@leslieturcotte1008]

i only listen to Mike and Keith at midnight.

Love the vibes on the podcast compared to the “regular ole” that chapter. Kieth adds a great presence. Seems like he’s a staple at this point. I don’t think you can fire him, mike.

[@pameversole5886]

Listening to you two while cleaning the kitchen @7 am (US time) sure makes it go by quicker. And for that… I am thankful! Lol. I could listen to y’all shooting the shite & laughing all day. Best wishes from a little spot in Kentucky! ✌️

It was the sunburn in a cave for me

[@cdes1776]

@SugarandSarcasm Yeah, yeah! That was a laugh too!

[@itarry4]

I'm impressed by Keith's knowing the history of Music Halls. The first purpose built hall was the Canterbury which opened in 1853 and that was basically the start of the music halls that most think of although food etc was still a big part of it. However this was when already running theatres started getting in on the business which was the end of the old style and it became the style that's usually thought of or seen in historical films etc.

[@LaiaBertran]

Looove your podcast! Keeping me company out in my morning walk. Thanks Mike and Keith.

I listen often Mike and Keith seem like truly great mates, of course I picture Mike and his TC persona. Would be quite pleased to see the pod-mate that makes this content possible... That said, maybe and mind you this is just how my mind works, Mike could slip him into say the Life Insurance Dance? That way we could give him a GOO! Hey that seems like a good one to me! (I'm biased ofc) Either way, thanks to you both for the hours of entertainment. Combined, you're truly a laugh riot!

[@TheKitsuneko]

To answer the tattoo/amp question. My dad had to get a chuck of his thigh removed (muscle and all) to use as a sort of prosthetic graft to avoid needing an foot amputation. He was supposed to get it removed from the injured leg, so he could still have 1 functional leg while recovering. No dice. He had a snake tat in that thigh. He picked the other one that had no tattoos on, YET. Oh! and he did end up losing half of that leg anyways, but at least he got to keep his tattoo 🤟🤟

Hi Mikeith (ok, that portmanteau didn't really work), This mystery is truly a humdinger. I'm not sure what to think 🤔 May I please suggest a podcast episode idea: *Gareth Jones* A Welsh journalist that was killed in 1935, China. He was the first western journalist to describe the Soviet Ukrainian famine - the Holodomor - as a planned act of terror and mass starvation. He is often referred to as a 'Hero of Ukraine. Many thanks from Down Under 🖤 🐨

Dr Crippen be Tripping!🤣

[@scotth8828]

I think Dr. Crippen did kill Cora, if she were alive I think she'd make her presence known after he was executed, from your description she seems like that kind of person. I think your scenario at the end was probably as close as anyone could get but I think it was just Cora that was being poisoned and she made some mark on her that would implicate Crippen Although I have to say that Dr. Crippen serial killer is a great conspiracy theory: he poisons Cora but is compelled to mutilate the body and if they started digging up the yard they'd find bodies in different levels of decomposition and different levels of dissection and dismemberment

Funny to imagine the old timers complaining about how the new posh London music halls just weren't the same as the old London music halls, and pining for the days where you could just drink and eat and throw dead cats at the performers. Simpler times.

[@genghis_connie]

Great story!

[@luckyspurs]

41:00 Wow, the captain of Crippen's ship was also the captain of the Empress of Ireland (the ship that famously sunk in only 14 minutes)? That's a whole amazing story of it's own.

But the body was buried in a celler. So it could possibly be there for a few years with flesh still on it depending on the conditions in the celler. Cellers are used to preserve food, wine, etc.....

As a child in the PNW we were told that overcast skies can actually magnify uv rays.. dunno how true it is tho. Lol

[@SSheezCrafty]

Fun fact about creepy old photos and why they look dead: they are! Or at least, one person in the photo often is. Because it took so long to take a photo, and you have to stay completely still that entire time, families often didn't get a portrait done until AFTER somebody died. Portraits of that person were taken usually alone, propped up like they are alive, you see these type of old portraits pretty commonly in old houses, but sometimes a spouse or even the whole family would get in on it, and that's why everyone has a creepy expression and nobody ever looks very thrilled to be in the picture.I'm going to guess that the man farthest left in this photo is the dead guy

[@joywagner979]

Oh, the hacking off of the ... bits ... would make a lot of sense with the "Cora's lover" theory. I'd bet Mike is right, and Cora is wherever the rest of the cellar body went. Although the doctor retaining the lover's body and disposing of his wife's is exceptionally wild. I think that speaks to his true feelings for Cora, as if there would be any lingering doubt after all that.

[@amandasshadow9605]

I love waking up to a new podcast from you guys! Yay! I think it may have been one of her lovers that either she killed or he killed. Or, since she was very dominating, she may have forced him to kill someone that pissed her off. Maybe a critic of her shitty talents? I dunno. But this is indeed a fascinating story! I think she ran off with someone in the long run though. He may have been too embarrassed to admit it at the time and maybe that's why his story kept changing.

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

I would assume that the poison was his preferred way to kill, & the method of disposal was separate from that.

[@cambiata]

I'm only 10 minutes in, but I have a brother who, while he isn't a psychopath, has always had something "wrong" with him (my guess for a while is that he's got NPD, other family members think he's schizophrenic; I have the most experience with him and honestly if it *was* schizophrenia I wouldn't be afraid of him like I am). Anyway, my point is that if someday said brother goes on a killing rampage, I will definitely be on the news saying, "yes, I was expecting this some day."

Cora also didn't strike me as the kind of woman who could just go on to live a quiet life, especially if her name was in the headlines (even if it was as a murder victim), so even if her body wasn't in the basement, it seems likely it is somewhere. duh. Everything is somewhere, man.

[@TheReal78]

That's a big issue today if you literally use your arms more than your legs!

[@MRPandoraHartDR]

I do think he did it because the poisoning isn't discrepant with him mutliating the corpse if you consider once she was dead he could now vent all his pent up anger out on Cora for being such a horrible abusive wife to him.
