Episode 50: Eugene Chantrelle. For our 50th episode anniversary Joannagh takes us back to 19th century Edinburgh for the case of Eugene Chantrelle, a medic turned languages teacher originally from France. Joannagh discusses how Chantrelle's reputation for predatory behaviour with his students, abusive tendencies as a husband and many expensive vices foreshadowed the evil scheme that would eventually be his downfall.
