You thought Alaina was done with Jack the Ripper but you were wrong…like really wrong. In this episode she’ll deliver us YET ANOTHER possible suspect and also the supposed diary of Jack the Ripper. This diary seemed to be written with the intention of throwing one James Maybrick under the bus and goes as far as to blame Florence for the killings of the canonical five. Do you think it could be real? What are your thoughts on this new suspect? Let us know by sending an email over to [email protected] with “Charles Cross” or “Ripper Diary” somewhere in the subject line.

Today Alaina brings us the case of Florence Maybrick and asks that we decide whether or not this woman was guilty of murder. Florence’s husband James was known to have a tummy trouble or two, but in May of 1889 those troubles progressed much further and James ended up dead. Immediately, suspicion was placed on Florence and many wondered whether James had actually succumbed to some kind of illness, or if it was Florence that was behind the sudden death. Had she poisoned her husband?

Alaina brings us the case of the Tow Path Murders this week and boy is this case a doozy. Two girls just riding their bikes along the path were abruptly assaulted, brutally raped and then killed. Just weeks before that a young girl walking along the trail had been raped. Police quickly connected the dots and were luckily able to get the attacker behind bars pretty quickly, but the question remained: was his confession a fake?

We got another chance to sit down with one of our favorite Canadians, Jordan from The Nighttime Podcast. He walks us through a case that hit pretty close to home for him. Lindsay Souvannarath, along with co-conspiritors James Gamble and Randall Shepherd planned a mass shooting that would have taken place on Valentines day at the mall in Halifax, CAN. Jordan was there pushing his son around in a carriage that day as the mall was quickly evacuated. Later he got the chance to talk to Souvannarath and was kind enough to share some of his interviews with us.

On July 4th 1954 Marilyn Sheppard was brutally killed in her home while her husband was asleep on the couch downstairs. Marilyn’s husband Sam would soon be accused of the killing and would later stand multiple trials deeming his innocence or lackthereof. Ash will walk us through said trials and then some other theories about possible culprits. Unfortunately to this day Marilyn Sheppard’s murder has never been solved.
