Synopsis

The father lay in the ditch, hands bound in front of him, face savagely bludgeoned. A gruesome sight, but even veteran cops were not prepared for what they saw when they lifted him up: the body of an infant, dressed in a red-and-white pinafore. The baby had been tossed into the ditch alive. She had suffocated when her father's body was pushed on top of her. 
  The man's wife and another daughter were missing for two years. After they were found nearly a hundred miles away, it was clear that the killer's motive was sexual. The father and the baby were quickly discarded. The real prize had been the wife. Her body bore a silk stocking knotted around the neck in an odd-looking harness and her knees were bruised. Police believed she had been ordered to perform a sexual act and had refused, so her killer used a collar to make her do what he wanted. She appeared to have been bludgeoned and hanged, and her little daughter had been beaten to death. 
  This area had been linked to an earlier murder with one suspect, but he had passed a polygraph exam. He was intelligent, educated, mild-mannered, and self-assured.  
  As this case grew more complicated, with more murders linked to a single predator, the emerging motive baffled even the most experienced detectives.

    Deep States limit our individual and collective potential and worsen our most pressing problems. You cannot fully understand Smollett’s scandal without understanding the Deep State that got him off---the first time, at least-- and tried to cover it up. 
    If you want to learn more about the Deep State and its players and its methods and all about Jussie Smollett and the most unusual, fascinating, and entertaining scandal, this book is for you. 
    I will present the facts about Jussie’s scandal, and I will present my opinions. I will also rebut people who lied to us about what happened and who continue to spread disinformation. Jussie must be criticized and punished according to law, not because of his skin color or his sexual orientation, but because of his character and behavior. On April 27, 2019, President Trump slammed Jussie as a third rate actor who disgraced a nation at a rally in Wisconsin. Earlier, he had called Jussie’s case an embarrassment not only to Chicago but the entire nation. 
     Jussie’s case teemed with menacing selfish intent. There is substantial evidence to show that he lied to the police and the media to create a hoax, and he lied, again and again, to cover it up. If true, he represents a form of hoaxing threat to our society that we don’t want to see spread. He could have incited race riots, even a race war, and this was his intent, perhaps to please Kamala Harris, as part of the Left’s Democrat and Communist race-baiting and race-exploiting agenda.

    The true story of a heartbreaking crime at a nineteenth-century amusement park.   On a summer day in 1893, against a backdrop of laughter and barrel organ music at Rocky Point Amusement Park, little Maggie Sheffield was murdered—by her own father.   But the tragedy aroused a strange reaction from the peaceable community of Warwick, Rhode Island, as many seemed to be more concerned for the murderer, Frank Sheffield, than for his young victim. Frank was rumored to be insane or addicted to drugs, and after a trial, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.   The murder did not tarnish Rocky Point’s reputation as a premier destination, and the park operated until 1995. Now, investigating official records and newspaper archives, author Kelly Sullivan Pezza uncovers the facts and oddities behind a grim crime in Rhode Island’s summer paradise.

    Prepare yourself for a gripping journey back into the darkest corners of post-war London and the shocking story of the infamous Rillington Place murders that shook London in the early 1950’s.  Based on the original trial transcripts, it is for you to decide if an innocent man was sent to the gallows. 
     
    On January 11, 1950, Timothy Evans of 10 Rillington Place stood trial at the Old Bailey, accused of the murder of his own baby daughter.  The courtroom was heavy with tension as the prosecution, led by Mr Christmas Humphreys, began delving into the mysterious death of his wife, building their case on the sworn testimony of a fellow tenant who resided on the ground floor - Mr John Reginald Christie.  The jury took only 35 minutes to find him guilty and on March 9, still protesting his innocence, Timothy Evans was hanged at Pentonville Prison.Three and a half years later, Christie, by now destitute and homeless, was arrested while loitering on the embankment near Putney Bridge in London.  And so begins one of the most infamous trials in British legal history, when Christie, a seemingly unassuming and quiet man is charged with the murder of his wife, Ethel.  A serial killer and necrophiliac, he is tried in the same court as Evans and in spite of his plea of insanity, he is destined to stand on the very same gallows at Pentonville Prison as Timothy Evans. 
     
    Starring RONALD PICKUP as John Reginald Halliday Christie with Jonathan Wrather, Terence Edmond, Trevor Nichols, John Baddeley, Robin Welch, Nicola Barber, Elizabeth Mansfield, Howard Ward and full supporting cast. 
     
    Also available as part of the Great British Trials Box Set, a fascinating eight-hour collection of true crime dramas, featuring the trials of Ruth Ellis, Dr Crippen, Timothy Evans & John Reginald Halliday Christie.

    This true crime history spans a century of murder, exploring 13 of the UK’s most notorious cold cases from the Victorian Era to the 1950s.   This book examines some of the most horrifying, mystifying, and fascinating murder cases in British history. Expertly researched by true crime author Kevin Turton, these stories have endured and confounded both police and law courts alike. With a chapter devoted to each story, Turton examines the circumstances surrounding the crime, the people caught up in the investigation, and the impact it had on their lives. Though they span a century—from 1857 to 1957—these murders share one chilling fact in common: despite various accusations, arrests, and trials, no one has ever been proven guilty.   The volume begins with notorious cases from the Victorian Era, such as the questionable trial of Scotland’s accused murderess Madeleine Smith, and the failed investigation into the murder of John Gill—possibly by Jack the Ripper. It then moves into the 20th century with the murders of Caroline Luard, Florence Nightingale Shore, and others. In each case, Turton sifts the facts and poses the questions that mattered at the time of each murder.
