Join Hallie Rubenhold as she reconstructs the legendary Dr Crippen case giving voice to those who have never properly been heard – the women.

On 1 February, 1910, the vivacious music hall performer, Belle Elmore, vanished suddenly from her north London home, causing alarm among her circle of female friends, the entertainers of the Music Hall Ladies’ Guild who demanded an immediate investigation.

They could not have known what they would provoke: the unearthing of a gruesome secret, followed by a fevered manhunt for the prime suspect: Belle’s husband, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen.

Join Hallie Rubenhold as she reconstructs the legendary Dr Crippen case giving voice to those who have never properly been heard – the women.
