  • Resumen

  • When the music hall dancer, Belle Ellmore, disappeared in January 1910, it was her performing colleagues who raised the alarm.


    Her murder by Dr. Crippen became a media sensation, and he became the star of the story.


    Why was Belle Ellmore murdered? Why did it cause such a sensation at its time? And what role did her friends and colleagues in the music hall industry play in bringing justice?


    Joining Kate today is historian and author, Hallie Rubenhold, whose feminist lens on this story, in Story of a Murder, is long overdue.


    This episode is edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer is Charlotte Long.
