September 23rd: Typhoid Mary Born (1869)
While today’s story chronicles a great loss of human life, it is different then the ones we usually tell.

A woman who never raised a weapon or even knew she was responsible for the trail of bodies left in her wake.

The Mystery of The Murdered Headmaster - September 14 2023 Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

September 14th: Elliott Speer Killed (1934)
When we hear the words “murder” and “school” in the same sentence most will, unfortunately, think of all the children lost to school shooters. This case, though set at a prestigious school in Massachusetts, has a different type of victim. On September 14th 1934 a headmaster was shot and killed inside his home in a case that, though a likely suspect was found, remains unsolved to this day.
