Old Timey Crimey #46: Peter Kurten, The Vampire of Dusseldorf - "I'm not a platypusologist"
This week, we head to Dusseldorf to meet its infamous "vampire," Peter Kurten. A man who kept the police, the press, and the public guessing as he went on a reign of terror across the city.
Plus, confused stomachs, monkey warnings, and a gaggle of Gertrudes.
And remember: there are monsters out there.
Make sure to come to our FB group, Twitter, Reddit, or Insta and give us some much needed brain bleach. And you'll be our heroes if you give us a 5-star review!
Don't forget about our Patreon, where you can get OTC business cards, access to bonus Old Tiny Crimeys, and exclusive early access to new full eps! Or you can paypal us at [email protected].
