Dominika Best Presents The Deviant Mind : A true crime podcast

Today, we step back in time to Victorian England, unearthing a sinister chapter in history. We pull back the curtains on a gruesome tale that reveals the intersection of societal norms, economic pressures and criminal intent. We dissect the grim narrative of the infamous Amelia Dyer, known as the baby farm killer. The episode paints a vivid picture of the 19th century, where the stigma of illegitimate children and the desperation of single mothers birthed a shocking practice – baby farming. We explore the chilling case that unfolded because of this institution, the horrifying case of Amelia Dyer.
