What does an infamous Victorian-era murder have to do with Sir David Attenborough? More than you’d expect.
In this episode of the Death & Gardening Podcast, Jenny and Chelsea dive into the Richmond Murder of 1879 and the disturbing case of Kate Webster — a habitual liar, impersonator, and killer whose story resurfaces more than a century later in an unexpected connection to a modern broadcasting legend.
From a missing skull and a local pub to identity theft and Victorian London crime, this episode explores how one of Britain’s most infamous historical murders still echoes today.
