Fortune Teller Killer Louisa Lindloff

What would you make of a psychic medium who used their gift to foretell the deaths of those around them? Pretty spooky, right? But, what if they used this gift to take out life insurance policies shortly before those predicted death dates? Now, it feels a little less spooky, and more suspicious. That is exactly what happened in the case we’re covering tonight. This is the story of fortune teller & murderer Louisa Lindloff.

Hélène Jégado

This is a bonus content episode available exclusively for our Housekeeper and Butler tier Patrons. To accompany episode 40 about The Red Inn Affair, I am going to tell you another story that takes place in the mid-19th century in France. Whereas the Martins may not have murdered any one, the subject of this story certainly did as a serial poisoner with upwards of possibly 30+ victims. This is the story of Helene Jegado.

Victorian Bonnie & Clyde: Lavinia & John Fisher

The subject of tonight’s story is often cited as “America’s first female serial killer.” Now, whether or not that is true, any story that could make such a claim is a story worth telling. In my opinion though, what we really have here, is the story of a true Victorian era Bonnie and Clyde.

This is the story of Lavinia and John Fisher.

The Bermonsey Horror

Tonight’s story was actually a listener request from a while back. I did not document where this request came in or who sent it, but it’s a good one. It’s got a love triangle, sex scandal and murder, and it was the first execution of a husband and wife in England in nearly 150 years. So thank you to the listener who recommended this case. If you have a case request you can contact me on my website or any of my social media channels.

This is the story of the Bermondsey Horror.

Jane Toppan

In this season opener we’re going to cover a case that encompasses something that I think is a lot of people’s worst fears. And if it isn’t a fear you already have, it might become one after hearing this case. Sometimes called Angels of mercy, or angels of death, this story is about what happens when someone trusted with the care of others, abandons their oath to “do no harm.” This is the story of Jane Toppan.

For our first episode, I thought we’d start with a case that has a little bit of everything. A scandal within the upper echelons of Scottish Victorian society, a salacious affair, and of course, a poisoning. This is the case of murderess Madeleine Smith.
