Episode 116: The Shark Arm Murders


Listen Later

In this week's episode of "History For Weirdos", Stephanie dives deep into the murky waters of one of Australia's most jaw-dropping mysteries - the Shark Arm Murders of 1935. Picture this: a peaceful day at Coogee Aquarium Baths, suddenly shattered by the sight of a captive shark vomiting up a human arm! But this was no ordinary case of foul play; the arm bore a distinctive tattoo, unraveling a twisted tale of underworld dealings, shady characters, and unsolved crimes. Join us as we navigate the dark undercurrents of Sydney's past, piecing together a puzzle that left even the most seasoned detectives baffled.

In this episode, we're not just talking about a shark with a taste for human flesh. We're uncovering a labyrinthine plot of murder, betrayal, and mystery that still haunts the annals of Australian crime history. From the bizarre evidence that pointed to death by shark, to the explosive courtroom drama that followed, Stephanie will lead us through every unexpected twist and turn. So, buckle up, dear Weirdos, for a story so strange it seems ripped from the pages of fiction.
