Listen Later

This Monday on Ghosts of the Gazette: We’re traveling back to February 2nd, 1905! Kendra unravels a chilling whodunnit from Pennsylvania—the 1901 murder of John Edwards dumped into a cistern and the web of suspicion surrounding his wife Kate Edwards, daughter Mary Edwards, and others close to the case over the next few years. Then Blake heads to Chicago yet again, where the crimes and cons of the infamous “Chicago Bluebeard,” John Hoch, reveal how far charm can mask cruelty.

Every other Monday, we dig into fascinating stories from the past — all originally reported on the exact same date (though many years ago) as the episode airs. It’s history, headlines, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into your new favourite podcast.
