RE: Who Killed Henry Benhayon in 1887? The Strange Case of the Phosphorescent Bride
I love reading old historical murder mysteries. As someone pointed out in the comments it really was easy to just dispose of spouses and start over back then. In general, before forensics and DNA evidence it was really hard to solve murders. O_O
Yes. It's quite interesting to read about their techniques of investigating these things. And much before this case, in most of the US, it was impossible to get a murder conviction on circumstantial evidence, which meant a lot of murderers walked free.
Yeah so many murderers walked free. I am pretty into watching Forensics Files now, or have been in the past obsessively because how we find murderers fascinates me.
