London, 1888. The city is gripped by fear as Jack the Ripper roams the streets of Whitechapel. But there's another madman on the loose, and the River Thames is his playground.

The identity of The Thames Torso Killer has remained a mystery for nearly 140 years, but author Sarah Bax Horton believes she has found the culprit. Sarah began researching the case in honour of her great grandfather - Harry Garrett - who was a police sergeant in Whitechapel at the time of the murders.

Join us for a story of mass hysteria and murderous bargemen as we try to nail down The Killer on the Water.

Sarah Bax Horton's book, Arm of Eve is available now from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arm-Eve-Investigating-Thames-Killer/dp/1803997486

Bill Kimberlin is not your standard criminal psychologist. For more than 20 years he has visited inmates on Death Row in his home state of Ohio, and across the US.

What started as a project to expand his professional knowledge has become something of a calling. To date, he has built years-long relationships with 10 men on Death Row, and has witnessed three executions, with more scheduled for the coming months and years.

It is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Bill is not affiliated to any law enforcement agency. He is not a lawyer or a spiritual adviser, nor does he attempt to profit from his subjects' notoriety. He is simply there to listen and learn. And to help these killers understand more about themselves.

You can buy Bill Kimberlin's book Watch Me Die from Amazon.

Follow Bill on Instagram to see some of the anonymous artwork he has acquired from men on Death Row.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: This episode follows on from WHO KILLED MRS HOOD? If you haven't listened to that one yet, please check it out first!

In this special Bonus Episode, we focus on the crucial piece of evidence that convicted Herbert Bennett of his wife Mary's murder in September 1900.

Her necklace was discovered in Herbert's lodgings after her death, helping to convince a jury that he was the man who killed her.

Now, that same necklace is framed on Paul Fitchett's wall - and is a daily reminder to him of why he must continue the fight to clear Herbert's name.

But how did the necklace get there?
