Ep 40 - Frances Knorr the Baby Farmer, and the Body On The Bed

Frances Knorr was known as the Baby Farming Murderess. She was found guilty of strangling an infant and hanged at Pentridge Prison in Melbourne on Monday 15 January 1894. Other bodies of babies that had been in her care were found buried in the garden of houses where she had lived. A couple who made a trip to honor the memory of their late son, and staff at the hotel constructed a bizarre spectacle on the bed, as their way of paying tribute to his memory. And to celebrate our Fortyversary we finally ask our producer Kirsten whether she has seen a dead body.
