Send us Fan Mail In 1920, Dr. Robert Wade Brown was shot and killed inside his Washington, D.C. home. Nearly a year later, James Frye confessed—but later claimed his confession was false and that he had acted in self-defense. His attorneys turned to psychologist William Moulton Marston, who tested Frye with an early lie detector and concluded he was telling the truth. The court refused to hear the results. That case would go on to establish the Frye Test, changing how scientific evidence is considered in American courts. Further, what does any of this have to do with Wonder Woman? 🎙️ Hear the full story in this week’s episode.

Send us Fan Mail A brilliant linguist. A suspected poisoner. A killer whose crimes shocked 1800s New York. Edward Rulloff was considered one of the most intelligent criminals of his era — fluent in multiple languages, studied by phrenologists, and defended even by Mark Twain. But behind the intellect was a trail of missing family members, robbery, murder, and one of the strangest executions in American history. Did he dump his wife and daughter into Cayuga Lake forever hiding the truth beneath the Finger Lakes waters? And could the lake itself still be hiding secrets today? Dive into the bizarre true story of Edward Rulloff, the missing women of Cayuga Lake, and the legend of Old Greeny.  Support the show Instagram @vintagehomicidepodcast Facebook Vintage Homicide Podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lachesis19v email [email protected] website https://vintagehomicide.buzzsprout.com

Send us Fan Mail A newlywed found murdered. No weapon. No witnesses. No motive. In 1968, 20-year-old Claire Josephs was brutally killed in her home in Bromley, England. What followed would change criminal justice forever. With nothing but blood typing, fiber analysis, and emerging forensic science, investigators built a case against Roger Payne—marking the first murder conviction in England based solely on forensic evidence. But decades later, after appeals, an escape, and a new identity… questions still linger. Did science get it right—or was there more to the story?

And just when it seems like the truth might surface… it disappears again. 💀 A massacre with no convictions 💀 A list of suspects who met violent ends 💀 Confessions that only raise more questions Even decades later, we’re still left asking: Did justice ever stand a chance in a world ruled by silence and bullets?

Send us Fan Mail Valentine’s Day, 1929 — Chicago. While the city spent thousands on candy and romance, seven men stood lined up inside a North Side garage. Two “police officers” walked in.  Then two more men followed.  Seventy rounds later, the garage floor was covered in blood. The targets were associates of George Clarence "Bugs" Moran — rivals of Al Capone during the Prohibition. Ballistics expert Calvin Goddard was brought in for his firearms examination skills. And Moran? He was on his way to the garage… saw what he thought was a routine raid… and turned back — unknowingly escaping death. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre changed organized crime forever.
