Victorian England is mostly remembered as a time of refinement.  Men wearing top hats, horse-drawn carriages rattling down cobblestone streets, and an empire that stretched across the world.  But beneath the surface lurked a darker reality.  Murderers could disappear into crowded cities, and poison became one of the deadliest weapons imaginable. 

So, break out your stethoscopes, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story about a physician who became one of the most terrifying serial killers of the Victorian era.
