Monte Carlo Trunk Murder
News of the Times Episode 284 | 1907
Marseille, 1907 and the porter has noticed a terrible odour and what seems to be blood oozing from one of the trunks of Sir and Lady Goold who have only just arrived from Monte Carlo.  Insisting that police become involved, a naked dismembered body of a woman is revealed.  An accompanying valise holds the head and the limbs. The hand luggage holds thousands in jewels.
This international story of the Goolds - a former Wimbledon finalist married to a twice divorced older Canadian woman - with their pretentions to aristocracy, captivated both sides of the channel and brought in Scotland Yard.
We delve into the background, the crime and the capture of the famous case of the Monte Carlo Trunk Murder in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
