Dr Crippen and the Hilldrop Crescent Murder revisits one of Britain’s most infamous true crime cases of 1910. When Cora Crippen, better known on the music-hall stage as Belle Elmorem vanished, her husband Hawley Harvey Crippen offered shifting explanations that soon aroused suspicion. A police search of their Hilldrop Crescent home uncovered human remains, pointing to a shocking murder. Crippen and his mistress Ethel Le Neve attempted to flee Britain, but a transatlantic chase brought them into custody. The case became a sensation, cementing Dr Crippen as one of the most notorious figures in British criminal history.
