S1.E66 - The Ogress of Reading: Baby Farms, the Cabbage Patch Killer, & the Butcher of Innocence

The Pandemonium team is back with an episode so revolting, we had to take a break mid-recording just to emotionally recover.That’s right - this one left even Cat speechless.Join Rachel, Cat, and Em as we dive headfirst into the truly stomach-churning story of Amelia Dyer, the Victorian-era baby farmer turned mass murderer who terrorized England from the 1860s to the 1890s. We’re talking child abuse, systemic failure, serial un-alivings, and a sewer system that saw far too much.With multiple arrests that led nowhere, forged paperwork, and a trail of heartbreak masked as charity, this story is full of lying liars who lie - and babies who never stood a chance.Content note: This episode includes discussion of child murder, abuse, and themes of infanticide. Listener discretion is very strongly advised.Links We Used - Amelia Dyer:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Dyerhttps://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/police-forces/thames-valley-police/areas/au/about-us/thames-valley-police-museum/the-baby-farmer/https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/serial-killers/amelia-dyer/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-39330793https://allthatsinteresting.com/amelia-dyerhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/amelia-dyerhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/death-row-serial-killer-who-31568681https://murderpedia.org/female.D/d/dyer-amelia.htm
