John George Haigh became known in postwar Britain for a series of murders that shocked investigators and the public alike. According to court records, police files, and contemporary reporting, Haigh believed that destroying his victims’ bodies would eliminate the legal proof of murder. This belief shaped a calculated pattern of deception, financial manipulation, and violence that unfolded over several years before authorities intervened.

In this episode, we examine the documented timeline of Haigh’s crimes, the investigative work that exposed his methods, and the forensic evidence that ultimately contradicted his assumptions. Drawing on trial transcripts, expert testimony, and historical analysis, this account explores how confidence, planning, and flawed reasoning converged—and why the case became a landmark moment in the understanding of forensic science and criminal psychology.
