The Horrific Thames Torso Murders (Feat.

[@WellINever]

Once again, a big thank you to Nicola. We had a great time roaming the foreshore! Be sure to check her out here on KZbin: www.youtube.com/@nicolawhitemudlark

[@ScarlettsWebb]

Done and done ❤️👍

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you very much for having me! I so enjoyed meeting you to talk about some of the objects I've found in the Thames mud ❤

[@veronicado1016]

Dear Mr. Brodie, All I want to say is Thank you for the videos, your beautiful narrations, just everything. God bless you and keep up the great work 😊❤❤❤.

[@hayesjulie]

Been watching her for a while! 😊

[@lilyt18]

Excellent! Thanks to you both 🙏🏽

[@pameversole5886]

Mr. Brodie, thank you. Buried my sweet Mother yesterday. Your voice & stories take my mind far away from the pain and I truly appreciate that.

[@WellINever]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what pain you must feel but I am grateful that the show is able to help take your mind off of things, even for a brief time. 🙏

[@pameversole5886]

[@tonicastel2390]

Sincere condolences on your loss.

[@ScarlettsWebb]

Bless you sweetheart 💔

[@Flamsterette]

I'm sorry to hear that. Six months on, there will be days that you don't think about it, but Mother's Day and Father's Day just past definitely made me think about it. Be well.

[@xlucykayx]

I suffer from auditory overstimulation all the time, and your voice has such a calming effect on my ears when im struggling to find something to listen to

[@WellINever]

That's really nice to know, Lucy. Thank you for the kind comment 🙏😊

-Fella misophoniac here, lol. Yes his voice is very easy to listen to, also the choice in segments having (or not having) background music, and that the music is appropriate in mood, not too dynamic in composition, and barely even audible.

[@sarafleming9893]

Thank you, sir! I love your videos, not only for the storyline, but you do your best to take us on scene. I live in America, am of moderate income, so I know I’ll never make it to Europe. Through your videos, I get to see parts of this world that I never will in person. I know God created a beautiful world to look at and appreciate, so I’m doing it vicariously through you. Thank you! 😍

[@lynnepearse937]

I’m right there with you.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

I echo your sentiment. This is a wonderful way to see the parts of the world I'll never see. Thank you Mr.B!

[@hotrodmercury3941]

Feel terrible for Elizabeth's mother. Imagine not seeing your daughter for awhile. Then coming forward to see whats left of her is pieces...not even whole. I couldnt imagine that image being in the poor mothers head.

[@donnariahi2975]

Ah another truly distressing story told in such a way that my soul is still soothed by a voice I could listen to for hours.

[@lazlobean]

I am so glad you had Nicola on your channel! Several years ago, I bought a pair of earrings, here in the US, made from pipe stems that had been mudlarked. It caught my imagination and I have studied the ins and outs of mudlarking. I have followed Nicola for a while and she is wonderful. She gets so excited about her finds and does research on each little thing. It puts everything into context and she brings her audience into her passion. Thanks for such a stellar channel. It’s one of my favorites and I always look forward to new episodes.

[@audreymuzingo933]

You should treat yourself to a metal detector. As long as you're not expecting to find a box of gold coins, everywhere from your own back yard to the schoolyard to the beach can be an endless supply of mystery and discovery.

[@whyamilikethis1998]

I'd give anything for a live episode of Well, I Never - imagine a bunch of us gathered at a fireside in the winter, listening to Mr Brodie and his wonderful storytelling, maybe with some hot chocolate or a hot toddy to drink 🤩

[@carolinejohnson845]

Just give me time to catch a plane, and I’ll be there!,,,,

[@phaedrapage4217]

He would have to come home for me to be part of a live evening. I love watching these when the wind is wuthering and the rain is teeming. We have lots of those in Glasgow.

[@NineLivesburra]

I loved this episode so much. I lived in London for 5 years in the 1990's and loved it. When Paul goes on location it brings back memories.

[@mauricedavis2160]

That sounds so nice, with a hot toddy to top it off!!!🙏👌🥃🦉❣️

[@joanneentwistle7653]

Thank you for featuring Nicola White today. I have seen her videos and find it fascinating how much she has been able to learn about the background of her finds.

[@jpendowski7503]

Much appreciation to Nicola for the history lesson within your storytelling. Thanks for great views and location maps. Cheers from the Midwest USA

[@addie_is_me]

That was such a good comeback about the Mississippi River. We sure asked for it. People, not getting their name back, they are not reported missing, no one notices, the cops don’t take the disappearance seriously, whatever the reason, it makes me very sad. I think being given their name back takes them from being curiosities and weaves them back into the the tapestry, it makes them fully part of us again.

[@daffers2345]

I went to Gettysburg some years back and visited the cemetery there. Many of the graves simply say UNKNOWN on them. It is heartbreaking knowing they will probably never be identified.

[@addie_is_me]

@@daffers2345 That is heartbreaking you’re right. Maybe just a tiny bit more DNA science and some will be known again.

[@r.j.macready3218]

Lame comeback. No nuance at all

[@cadian101st]

Perhaps at the time, but it has aged poorly.

[@Expressionisto1]

Thank you for another fascinating story, brilliantly told. It was a special delight to see two of my favourite KZbin talents, combine their efforts. Yourself concisely, comprehensively and elegantly resurrecting some long past, grim true tales: Nicola bringing life and social storytelling, to dormant mysteries, concealed beneath the Thames silt, muck and wash. A superb match.

[@charmaynebruce6215]

Mudlarking would be fascinating! I'd absolutely love it!

[@JamesWilliams-gp6ek]

What a treat. Two of my favorite KZbin posters together in an episode. Nicola is my Sunday afternoon addiction with her mudlarking show.

[@christianecarson4321]

I only found this channel accidentally 2 days ago, but I am completely addicted now!!! I love everything about these deliciously gruesome true life stories, especially the British ones, narrated in your beautifully quiet, measured Scottish voice!!! As a retired Social History teacher who used to spend countless hours happily doing deep dives into various topics like yours, I just wanted to say a huge thank you, Mr Brodie, for all the hours of research you must do for each of these videos, and I look forward to spending many, many more spine-tingling hours with you!!!! SUBSCRIBED with great pleasure!!! P.S. I also just subscribed to Nicola's mudlarking channel... fascinating!)🤩

[@MrsJHarrington]

Mr. Brodie, I had a stressful day today, the sound of your voice was very calming and I am very grateful for that. You sir are a master storyteller. This was an excellent video. Thank you.

[@derekstocker6661]

Very well done as always, Thanks for this. Bringing Nicola into the issue was a great idea, she is such a dedicated lady to her passion of history.

[@jorgevillavicencio427]

Your content is always very interesting and very well produced. You're a true gentleman both in manner and countenance. Thank you for sharing your great work... cheers!

Great job!! Thank you. Fascinating. The crockery from the workhouse is truly a find. I thought of JTR immediately.

[@Kazza_8240]

Loved seeing Nicola, I watch her videos every week, she's so good at bringing history to life, and you too, are such a good storyteller, telling us these awful stories, in such a soothing way, thank you.

[@chocolatechip12]

I very much enjoyed the interview with Nicola!

[@Jamesandthehooligans]

The collab I didn’t know I needed! @tidelineart and @wellinever

[@amgoudman]

What I found especially interesting is that this is not the only series of torso murders. On the other side of the pond, there was a series of cases collectively referred to as the Cleveland Torso Murders. They took place in Cleveland, Ohio. The killer was referred to as the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run. As in the Thames cases, the killer has never been identified.

[@albertaadams4640]

Although I have heard theories that they did have a suspect who was related to a prominent family and they cut a deal with Ness and the police department.

[@rodeastell3615]

Thank you for another captivating tale.

Discovered you last night having insomnia. You are amazing. Thanks for sharing these cases in a respectful way.

[@hydro_pyro]

Love your videos. Thanks for all the research you’ve done

[@thejudgmentalcat]

To be fair, both the Thames and the Mississippi are silty, but the Thames has much more history attached to it. Thank you Paul for letting us mudlark with you and Nicola. The fact she could track the luggage tag to a person was impressive 👏

[@phaedrapage4217]

But only the Mississippi has an ice cream treat named after it! (I admit I may be biased having lived almost all of my 47 years only an hour away.)

[@SpicyTexan64]

It has much more European history attached to it. Everywhere has a history to it.

[@mimsydreams]

​@@phaedrapage4217Think of all the Native American history tied to the Mississippi River. The people who named the river. Before European colonizers arrived and committed mass genecide. The Mississippi has many stories to tell.

[@maddieb.4282]

Lack of history around the Mississippi? Kinda disrespectful to the indigenous tribes that have a long history with the river

[@catherinejohnson8478]

As always, spellbinding. Such perfection!

[@akelly4207]

Unfortunately I remember the case of a young boys torso being found in the Thames much more recently. I remember being horrified that people weren’t immediately saying “Well this missing child is that age, it must be them” and realised how easy it can be for people to get away with such things because no one even knows they are meant to be looking.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

That’s the boy from Nigeria suspected to have been murdered for some magic ritual, right? I’m still enraged about that! Poor little boy. I hope he gets justice someday.

[@akelly4207]

@@Lily_of_the_Forest Yes, that’s the one. So horrible.

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

@@akelly4207 people get called out for being nosy or a busybody, but ya know what? Nosy busybodies would have seen a little boy suddenly show up, not go to school, not play with other kids in the neighborhood, then suddenly disappear! They then would see on the news the horrible murder and tell the police, anonymously, the address of their neighbors’s house and hopefully the police could find evidence before it was cleaned up. So many people failed that little boy. Evil wins when decent people do nothing or not pay attention. Busybodies save lives! Surely someone had to see him, right? I wish someone spoke up. 😢

[@sarafleming9893]

Best storyteller on YT.

[@elvenkind6072]

So interesting (!!!) with the "mudlarking" hobby, cause this is a very old "occupation" indeed. I know from I think it was either in the "Worst jobs in History", from the Victorian era, or about the building of the sewers in London that eradicated the Typhoid fever from wells with polluted groundwaters from cesspits and such, after The Great Stink parliment. Where the tunnels from the sewers exited downstream past the city, various people had something like a day-job from finding coins and such between the brick-stones far down said tunnels. But it was criminalized at some point.

[@tammywheetley2384]

Hello Paul.... I so enjoy your stories!!!!

[@janeeyre1990]

> Nothing too old, just George VI. Honey (respectfully), as a US American, we are lucky to keep history that's 25-50 years old. We're more of a "demolish the past to make room for industrial progress" kind of country. Any connection to the past and your roots is valuable. Because often those connections are lost or intentionally destroyed.
