About this episode
May 9th: The Euston Square Mystery Body Found (1878)
Sometimes the world around us, the one that is constantly changing and altering, can leave an effect on different facets of true crime. Today’s story is one where the environment has everything to do with who the victim was and how she ended up where she did. On May 9th 1878 the body of a woman was found in the cellar of an upper class family home during a time where lodgers, and transients, were incredibly common.
