Could a sinister figure from Denver's past rival the infamy of Jack the Ripper? Join us as we team up with our friends from the Dark Mysteries Podcast to unravel the chilling enigma of the Denver Strangler. From 1894 to 1903, this elusive killer cast a shadow over Denver, preying primarily on French prostitutes. Together with hosts Hannah, Jess, Christine, and Jessie, we dissect the haunting details of victims like Bina Tapper and Marie Constetto, drawing eerie parallels to infamous murderers like Jack the Ripper and H.H. Holmes. With a meticulous examination of the gruesome crime scenes and the perplexing circumstances that baffled law enforcement of the time, this episode promises to leave you questioning the very nature of evil.
Journey with us into the eerie atmosphere of the late 1800s, where the absence of forensic technology and the rise of spiritualism painted a macabre backdrop. We'll explore the suspected victims, such as the clairvoyant Julia Vought and Mabel Brown, and consider the harrowing possibility of the Denver Strangler's reach extending to other states. As we scrutinize the main suspects, Richard and Frank Rock, uncover the chilling details of Richard's mysterious move to Brazil post-trial and the swift exoneration of Frank. Through fresh insights and theories presented by our guest hosts, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the dark mysteries that continue to haunt the streets of Denver.
