Campus Crimes: The Murder of Jane Stanford

from Crime House 24/7

In the first of our four-part limited series "Campus Crimes," Vanessa breaks down the 1905 murder of Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford University, who was poisoned to death in a Honolulu hotel room. A coroner's jury ruled it murder, the evidence was clear, and the prime suspect had motive and opportunity. But the university's own president intervened, hired a compliant doctor, and replaced a murder verdict with "heart failure" in a cover-up that held for a hundred years.And for more cases just like this one, be sure to check out the Crime House Original, Serial Killers and Murderous Minds.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
