Ep 28: Thames Torso Murders (1800s vs 2000s): London’s River Mysteries and Moving Letters

Grab your life jackets and a dictionary, because this week our UK true crime podcast is bypassing the mainstream media distractions to jump straight into the deep end of London's most baffling river mysteries: The Thames Torso Murders.We are unlocking a massive, comparative serial killer deep dive spanning two completely different centuries of unsolved British crime. First, we head back to the late 1880s to break down a series of highly calculated, anonymous cold cases where dismembered remains kept washing up along the muddy banks of the River Thames, completely humiliating Scotland Yard. Then, we fast-forward all the way to 2001 to look at a chillingly similar modern London serial killer mystery, breaking down how forensic science tried to piece together a case that perfectly echoed the city's dark, historic past.But let's be entirely honest—the most chaotic crime scene this week is right inside the studio (vikkis front room). It is a certified, weapons-grade high-dyslexia day for your hosts. The words on the script are actively running a marathon, the alphabet is playing musical chairs, and attempting to pronounce basic British street names has devolved into absolute comedic ruins. Grab a drink, brace your ears for some premium comedy true crime linguistic disasters, and let's try to survive some true crime podcast history!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.con.pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Facebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/Try London Nootropics 👇🍄https://londonnootropics.com/Use our code 'TCSCP' at checkout for £5 off your first order
