Historical Homicides

Nitecap True Crime is back.For our Season 2 premiere, we’re digging into Historical Homicides — three brutal crimes pulled from different corners of history that prove humanity has always had a dark side.Suzi examines the terrifying legacy of Elizabeth Báthory, the infamous Hungarian countess whose cruelty toward young women became the stuff of legend.Gavin takes us into wartime Paris to unravel the horrifying crimes of Marcel André Henri Félix Petiot, a doctor who promised desperate people escape from the Nazis… and delivered something far more sinister.And Lindsay closes the episode with the disturbing modern-ish case of Katherine Knight, whose shocking crime would become one of the most infamous murders in Australian history.Three killers. Three different eras. And three stories that prove the past can be just as chilling as the present.Pour yourself a drink and join Gavin, Suzi, and Lindsay as they reopen the case files.Join us at The Oddities Department every week and take a tour through the historically hilarious, the scientifically bizarre and the most obscene exhibits they most definitely don't keep on the museum show floor.
