The London Cellar Murder of 1910: (Dr Crippen).

What made the Crippen case so remarkable was the chase across the Atlantic Ocean with the "SS Montrose" of the Canadian Pacific Line being overtaken by the faster "SS Laurentic" of the White Star Line enabling the detective Walter Dew to arrive ahead of Crippen and Le Neve at Rimouski (Father Point) and go aboard "SS Montrose" with the pilot to make the arrest. Captain Henry Kendall used his ship's radio to relay his suspicions about the wanted passengers on his ship and emerged as the hero of the story. The same Captain Kendall was commanding the Canadian Pacific Liner "Empress of Ireland" three and a half years later, in May 1914, near that same location, Father Point, Rimouski, when his ship sank in the St Lawrence River in only 14 minutes after a collision with the loss of over 1000 lives.

I still don't understand why cropping would take time to remove all the bones and bury cora flesh in lime and a dressing gown with a label of the ship where he bought it. Something smells and I'm not talking about the flesh. Walter Dew was also involved in the Jack the ripper case as a young constable.

[@vermilliongecko]

While Crippen was in custody, Winston Churchill, who was Home Secretary at the time, received a letter from America that claimed to be from Cora Crippen, saying that she was alive, and while she was happy with her new lover in America, that she did not wish her husband to be hanged for her murder. We have no way of knowing if that letter was genuine, but we'll never know, as Winston Churchill destroyed the letter. Winston Churchill should have been sacked and prosecuted for destroying evidence.

[@Nico6th]

How do we know that if Churchill destroyed the letter? -_-

[@takohamoolsen2432]

That's very true. I read it as well. DNA was performed on the remains found in the Crippen basement and it was male.

[@M.Campbell-Sherwood]

@Mayoforsam yeah and she didn't send it to Churchill she sent it to him (Crippen) bragging that she thought it was funny he was going to swing for his death. Churchill did know bout it though. The family is trying to get the crown to exonerate him because of hit.

[@zukosmom3780]

There's no proof that the letter was even sent. You just don't like Churchill

[@Nico6th]

That's an amazing amount of forensic work in a case from that time. Someone thought about the label on the clothes and found out since when that was added. They managed to prove that drugs/toxins were used and which. they matched the scar to the one the wife had had. Very interesting.

[@markrowland1366]

This monstrous lie should now be taken down. The several leading characters in the prosecution should be reviled for the monstrous murder they concocted in pursuing Doctor Crippen. The famous flesh recovered was preserved and with modern techniques has been revealed to be of a man. We must now honour the memory of that galant gent.

She let him swing for something she had the motif and, quite possibly, the opportunity for. He was so smitten with her that he let her get away with it. What a shame. "Mrs Mc Ginty's Dead" by Agatha Christie was based on this case, partially.

[@warefairsoda]

As soon as Spilsbury's name was mentioned I knew that Crippen's future was to be a short one.

[@Goodiesfanful]

I'm not sure what to think of this case anymore since new evidence creates controversy that the torso was Cora's. And why keep the torso while getting rid of all other parts of the body? Why not just dump her whole body in the sewer or something? It's also unusual for poisoning case to involve dismemberment. A poisoner just makes it look like their victim died of natural causes or whatever and then just walks away. On the other hand, what about that crazy dash across the Atlantic on the Montrose with such amateurish disguises? That does count against Crippen.

[@zukosmom3780]

I guess it's been determined that the body was a male

The body they found wasn't Crippen's wife. It was most likely his wife's lover, since she was having an affaire. The body they found was male. He might of still killed his wife. Who knows... Here's what i think happened. He found out about the affaire got angry and killed them both, but only one of the bodies turned up in the cellar. The story about Crippen being aware of the affaire for a long time is bullshit he made up for the courts. So no one would figure out that he murdered the both of them out of a jealous rage.

[@TippyPuddles]

From the comments below, it is clear that people don't know that homeopathic doctors were actual trained doctors in their profession. Doctors of western philosophy pushed homeopathic doctors (eastern ideas) out of business by grouping and only accepting western training and degrees. Western doctors treat the symptoms, while eastern doctors look for the cause of the symptoms and treat the cause. That is why our medical care is so crappy. If you notice, today there is an acceptance of eastern philosophy (acupuncture and the like) and health insurance even covers some of these procedures. Why, because it works. Like everything else humans are involved with, it's all about the money.

The worst type of victim blaming. The only proof that Cora repeatedly cheated is from Crippens mouth. She definitely flirted with Bruce but there is no proof she cheated. Read "supper with the Crippens" for a clearer account of their characters. One thing I noticed was that Cora had a lot of friends who thought the world of her. It was thanks to them that Dew got involved. Crippen had no friends. Says a lot about them.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

This may sound crazy but could the wife of the doctor and her lover have killed some guy, cut him up, dumped the body in the cell and putting lime on it knowing it would help keep the remains. She & her lover split in hopes the Doctor would be held thinking he'd killed his wife? Maybe the Mrs sgined her husband's name for the poison. The body samples still in existence proves that it was a man burried in that celler, & had no trace of posion in the body. If all that IS so & wouldn't you think a doctor would know that just useing lime would help preserve a body and not distory it? 'IF' the Dr. DID do it wouldn't he have used the stuff that would distory the body? Who knows the real truth, but I have my doubts that he killed his wife. I guess we will never know for sure. !!!!! For all we know, MAYBE the doctor's 'lover' killed the wife out of jealousy and maybe the doctor tried to cover it up and took the blame. But if so then how did a 'man's' body get burried in the celler? 🤔 👻🖑

We were watching a trailer for some crime drama show set in the early 20th century and my mum thought it was going to be about his case (she quickly realized it wasn't) and I replied to her saying that Crippen sounded like a deadass evil name, one that I could only imagine being used in comic books or other forms of fiction. That's when she told me we were related and I started googling him. Wasn't the most pleasant family discovery but very intriguing.

@@M.Campbell-Sherwood I never heard this.

Question I have is back in Crippen's day I am sure they could determine the gender of a carcass, even if badly decomposed. How could they miss this important fact?

[@M.Campbell-Sherwood]

@@WitchidWitchid they didn't care. It was a botched job to begin with. They had evidence from the cabbie who took Crippen's wife and her possessions from their home to another home, proving she was alive and well. They disregarded it. Jack's ghost was on their back and it was an embarrassment that they didn't and couldn't find him. It made them look bad in the eyes of the public and shamed them so they, I'm sure, felt they HAD to get this killer. I mean it was the biggest case after Jack. They couldn't fail this time God no. Even if the man was innocent and there wasn't really a murder to begin with. You know how fragile the male ego can be, especially when its a cop lol. They probably did go out and find some poor woman who died, whether a prostitute who died naturally or was killed or even faked it with a young mans body and messed it up beyond recognition. Then there's the Med school where you can get bodies or buy one off the a$$e$ who dig them up and sell them to the school's. People were sick and did that a lot back then. Leave their clothes and jewelry and its not grave robbing just take the body. Then sell it. That's most likely where they got the body of "Mrs. Crippen", *snorts derisively* . Research was done in recent years and she was found, via census reports, living in her sisters home here in America, AFTER her supposed MURDER. I tell ya I couldn't believe it when I heard that...

Re the body in the cellar: If it is true that it has been forensically determined to be male, this lends weight to a book I read more than 20 years ago in which it was revealed that the lead detective had a reputation for fitting people up. Something that was (and still is) common when the police are convinced that someone is guilty, but do not have the evidence to support their belief. At the time, it would have been fairly easy for a senior detective to get hold of a body (or parts of one) to provide the "missing" evidence of murder.

[@maunster3414]

Oooh! Very interesting. Thanks.

[@sondrab1881]

Per the book "THE MILD MURDERER" by TOM CULLEN -Two wks before he was hanged, Crippen wrote a letter- "I am innocent and some day evidence will be found to prove it." DNA has proven that the "body" in the basement, was indeed male. Also Cora's stage name was Belle Elmore--- ten years after the trial a singer with a similar name was registered as living with Cora's sister in New York. Records show that the woman entered the U.S. through Ellis Island from Bermuda in 1910 shortly after Mrs. Crippen disappeared (1920 U.S. Census New York). Ethel LeNeve was acquitted of the murder, left England after the trial, settled in Toronto. She died in 1967 at age 84. To give credit where credit is due the info above is per the novel "CRIPPEN A Novel of Murder" by John Boyne.

I always thought crippin looked a very creepy weird man.

[@blacktoothfox677]

Ah! But that's a slippery trap. Imagine he was an enlightened philosopher, and look at those bright eyes again. Context is a powerful primer, no?

[@carolsnook4659]

Yeh not unlike that of John Reginald Halliday Christie...

[@johngunn9833]

crippen is innocent...fact

[@61shark]

john gunn please state your case I am interested.

[@vermilliongecko]

He may not be guilty of his wife's murder, but there's still the male torso in the cellar to account for.

This is so awesome 😁

In the small town I used to live in (ironically Montrose, Colorado) there was the Crippen Funeral Home that the Crippen family had owned and operated for several decades.

[@takohamoolsen2432]

WOW...that's creepily amazing

[@kagewrld]

how can i find music like the one at the beginning of this documentary?

[@barbarat5729]

"Another quack doctor." So homeopathics are quacks? Hmmm.

[@SpeccyMan]

Homeopaths. And yes, they are quacks!

[@WitchidWitchid]

It depends on whether or not homeopathy was considered valid in Crippen's day. Nowaday's it is considered quack medicine. Back around 1910 the views on homeopathy may have been different.

The only police chase, also followed by the general public, which was slower than the OJ one!

[@dpiroch]

Except that Crippen was later proven innocent and that the body in his basement was a male.
