The Case of the Cambridge Killing
News of the Times Episode 449 | 1881
Today, we travel back to Cambridge in 1882, where a shocking and suspicious death has rattled the community.
Mrs. Emma Howell, the long-suffering wife of an insurance salesman, has died—but the circumstances suggest it was far from natural. For years, she confided in family about her mistreatment at the hands of her husband. With her son recently married and out of the house, Mrs. Howell found herself alone—and afraid.
Investigators soon uncovered troubling details surrounding her death. In this episode, we delve into the case, exploring the background, the crime, and the verdict.
And in our Further Particulars segment, we stay in Cambridge to uncover a chilling tale of a house plagued by a vengeful spirit—one with a peculiar habit of tearing people's clothing. *Rip*
