S2 Ep17: S02E17: Firebrand Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

"A female terrorist, a firebrand, a knifewoman." Model and barmaid Tracie Andrews appeared at a press conference on the 3rd December 1996 with a bruised face, clutching the hand of a mother who had lost her son. Both women appealed for information from the public. Andrews said her fiancé, Lee Harvey, had been the victim of a road rage attack from "a fat man with staring eyes." It turned out Andrews herself had committed the crime, having stabbed her partner over 40 times with a pen knife.
Her lawyer would later argue the press had made it impossible for Andrews to receive a fair trial: "her name and picture quickly became synonymous with unmitigated wickedness, cunning and duplicity in the collective public mind."

Show notes

When six women were found dead in and around the River Thames in the mid '60s, they were dubbed "The Hammersmith Nude Murders" and their killer "Jack the Stripper". All of the victims had worked as prostitutes, all had been strangled and all were discovered without any clothes. Over fifty years on, are we any closer to knowing the true identity of this serial murderer?
