London: The Camden Town Murder Continues

from Foul Play: A Historical True Crime Podcast · host Shane L. Waters, Wendy Cee, Gemma Hoskins

As the shadows of tragedy settled, the investigation into Emily Dimmock's murder evolved against the backdrop of Camden Town's social intricacies. For Bertram Shaw, the examining of Emily's past was a revelation, a confrontation with secrets she hid beneath a guise. Season 17's exploration of the Camden Town Murder draws listeners into the intimate yet troubled life of Emily, who sought transformation but found herself ensnared by history. Emily Dimmock, in seeking a fresh start, showcased the struggles of women pursuing autonomy amid societal constraints, with her murder igniting vital discourse on identity and justice. The fledgling detectives of 1907 London faced hurdles, with prejudice and assumptions distorting each lead. Emily's liaisons, recorded in her elusive diary, revealed a dual existence as investigators sought closure, battling courses paved with scorn and sensationalism. This era, painted with rapid change, allowed for both opportunity and peril. Listeners will follow the investigation's progress, balancing moral dilemmas and social commentary, as we chart Emily's journey toward an uncertain resolution. Discover, in riveting detail, how viewpoints clashed as evidence mounted, casting both doubt and clarity in equal measure. --- Support Foul Play: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/foulplaypodcast Website: https://www.mythsandmalice.com/show/foul-play/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foul-play-crime-series/id1525832703 Follow us: Instagram: @foulplaycrimeseries Twitter: @foulplaypodOur Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The investigation into Emily Dimmock's murder wasn't an easy one… at least not for Bert Shaw, who was convinced Emily had left her dark past behind and was living an honest life with him in their home in Camden. The police asked him several rather uncomfortable questions, ranging from Emily's past as a sex worker named Phylis to how they met and decided to live together. It was clear, during the questioning, that Bert had no reason or motivation to ever hurt Emily. When they first met, Emily was working the streets, and Bert offered to give her a good, comfortable life if she left the profession. Some people, however, don't want to be rescued from their lives and enjoy their situation, even if it seems unconventional to others. Support our podcast by becoming a patron.
