In 1968, Mary Bell of Newcastle, UK, was a typical preteen. She had a best friend, she went to school, she liked to do art, and she hung out in the local “rat alley” with the other kids. She was also a bully, who strangled kids younger than her. Maybe not so typical. Tune in to part one as we set the stage for Mary, the Tyneside Strangler, and discuss her first murder.
