Today’s case and movie is The Last Hangman which is based on the life and career of Albert Pierrepoint, who was one of the head executioners in the UK between 1931 and 1956.  It is estimated he executed between 435 and 600 people, 200 of these were war criminals right after WWII.

The Sorceress and the Noblewoman

True Crime, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I have something a little bit different for you today.
I have two true crime stories that go way, way back.
One is about a supposed Sorceress from the 1300’s in Ireland, and another is an extremely cruel and evil noblewoman in 1700’s Russia. Catherine The Great makes an appearance today in one of these true crime stories. I wonder if you can guess which one.
I thought it might be nice to go way back in history and get a break from anything even close to current or present day. I hope you enjoy it.
