Twisted Roots: A Genealogist’s True Crime Podcast

S2E2: This episode is the second in our Jack the Ripper Files. Periodic future episodes will be dedicated to each of the victims and suspects of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders that took place in Whitechapel, London in 1888. In this episode we will focus on Martha Tabram, whom many was the first victim of Jack the Ripper. We will travel through the details of her very difficult life, often in and out of workhouses - including several documents that may not have been found before. Was Martha a victim of Jack the Ripper? Was it a soldier to drunk after a long Bank Holiday celebration? Join us into this deep dive into the life and death of Martha Tabram.

The Midnight Murder of Pearl Osten

S2E3: On a brisk October's night in 1927, the smell of rain in the air, a fashionable young lady had recently arrived in the city of Minneapolis to attend college for piano. After finishing a long night attending to a party at the Jolly Peasant Tea Rooms, a job she had aquired only days before, she headed home. She stepped off the streetcar, just after midnight, with a mysterious young man and was never seen alive again. This century old mystery has never been solved. Listen to the facts of the case and see if you can determine who killed Pearl Osten.
