Ruth Snyder: Love, Betrayal, and Old Sparky

In this week’s episode, we travel back to the 1920s, a time of speakeasies, jazz, and newspaper headlines has jaws dropping everyday. At the centre of one of New York's most sensational stories was Ruth Snyder, a suburban housewife whose plan to be rid of her husband set off a chain of events that would shock the public and change crime reporting forever. We walk through Ruth’s marriage to Albert Snyder, the sordid affair with corset salesman Henry Judd Gray, and the clumsy murder plot that spiralled into front-page scandal. And of course, we couldn't talk about this case without mentioning the infamous hidden-camera photograph that captured Ruth’s final moments in the electric chair, an image that became one of the most recognisable crime photos of the twentieth century.Come hang out with us on YouTube on Saturdays at 12pm (mst)! https://www.youtube.com/@TheGrimCurriculum/videosExtra Credit Every Second Wednesday at at 12pm (mst)!https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_u7l4tepCoX4zW6PW05-Oyo703LL7wx5&si=sUvQwGsOJNFIymELWatch the video episode on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheGrimCurriculumPUT OUR MERCH ON YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR HOMEthegrimcurriculum.threadless.comTell YOUR stories on the next episode of Grim Encounters!
