Switchblade Sisters Social Club

Welcome back, sisters and sinners! This week, Dee and Isla take a dark and winding stroll down the towpaths of 1960s London to unpick the grim mystery of Jack the Stripper — no, not a misbehaving hen party guest, but the nickname for one of Britain’s most elusive serial killers.Between 1959 and 1965, eight women, all sex workers, were found murdered and dumped near the Thames. All were undressed. All were petite. All were preyed upon in an era when London was loosening up morally… but still tightening the noose on working-class women.As always, we take you through the crimes, the investigation, and the infuriating dead ends. including the time a nightclub caretaker just wandered into the police station and confessed. (He changed his mind. As you do.)Also, brace yourselves — Dee drops her most controversial opinion yet: soya milk is the worst of all milk alternatives. We’ll give you a moment to recover.Join The Ink-Quisition!Do you have a tattoo you'd like us to lovingly judge at the end of an episode? Whether it's your nan's name, a haunted doll, or just a regretful dolphin from Magaluf 2004, submit your ink to The Ink-Quisition.

What do you get when you cross a morgue attendant with a Satanist, a bad artist, and a 90s French internet hookup? A cannibal with a YouTube following, apparently.Join Dee and Isla as we plunge fang-first into the gore-splattered legacy of Nicolas Claux, the Vampire of Paris, a convicted murderer, confessed cannibal, corpse desecrator, and, somehow, international curator.It all started with a seemingly innocent visit to a Serial Killer Exhibition in London, until one donor’s name kept creeping up like a resurrected corpse.Trigger warnings galore: corpses, cannibalism, blood-drinking, grave desecration, and very, very bad art.

Whether it’s a regrettable ex’s name, a misspelled quote, or an absolute masterpiece, we want to see it. Send your ink our way, and we’ll give it the respect (or roast) it deserves.

We’re back this week with an episode that explores a case as infamous as the motorway it’s named after. Yes, we’re talking about the M25 Rapist. So buckle up, because this journey is not exactly a scenic route! For those of you who’ve ever cursed the M25's relentless traffic or wondered if you’ll ever see the other side of it, this episode adds another layer to its notorious history. We’re diving into the harrowing story of a predator who used England’s busiest motorway as a hunting ground, leading to one of the most intense manhunts in British crime history.

Hope you’re all doing well, keeping it cool, and staying far away from places that require you to request permission to go to the bathroom from 11 people. Yep, you read that right – welcome to this week’s episode on the Elan School, a so-called "therapeutic" boarding school that could have doubled as the training ground for your nightmares. Picture this: the isolated woods of Maine, where trees outnumber people, and “rehabilitation” was synonymous with psychological warfare. The Elan School promised troubled teens a second chance, but its methods were straight out of a dystopian novel – think forced labour, humiliation, and bizarre punishments that would make even the most hardcore reality TV producer blush. Ever heard of “The Ring”? It’s not just a movie. At Elan, students were actually pitted against each other in what can only be described as "Fight Club for Teens."  The school operated in total secrecy for decades, and it only closed after the digital age finally gave former students a voice. Could something like this happen again?  Sources 2017 The Last Stop - about the Elan school for behavioural Modification surrounded in controversy https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/police-looking-into-claim-linking-82-death-forced-fighting/ https://www.sunjournal.com/2016/03/13/family-asks-really-happened-phil-elan-school/ https://www.sunjournal.com/2011/03/23/elan-school-closing-web-campaign-shut/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/good-news-bad-economy-kil_b_162696 https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/qdd8zu/1993_murder_of_17_yo_dawn_birnbaum/ https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Dawn_Birnbaum https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2003/01/a-miscarriage-of-justice/304759/ Duck in a Rincoat by Maura Curley https://web.archive.org/web/20081204131734/http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/070325elan.html

Let’s look at the twisted tale of Rurik Jutting, a high-flying banker with a dark secret. Spoiler alert: This guy’s career pivot took "dramatic life change" to a whole new level, and not in a "follow your passion" kind of way.  We’ll take you through the shocking crimes, the trial that rocked Hong Kong, and explore what happens when a life of privilege crashes headfirst into a spiral of madness.  But after all that grimness, we wrap things up with what you’ve really been waiting for—YOUR dating advice!

In this episode, Dee takes Emma on a wild ride through the infamous Broadmoor Prison, the UK's most notorious high-security psychiatric hospital. But don’t worry, we manage to sneak in a lot of laughs between the dark history lessons. Here’s a taste of what’s coming up: From Lunatics to Rhubarb: Society's view of mental health has changed so much over time, from locking people away forever to, uh, prescribing rhubarb. Rhubarb! Can it cure a broken mind? Spoiler: probably not. Idiots vs. Imbeciles: Dee attempts to explain the very important distinction between an idiot and an imbecile, leaving Emma wondering if she's accidentally dated both. (Haven’t we all?) Spoon-fed Nightmare Fuel: Someone at Broadmoor once ate a brain. With a spoon. Bon appétit? Emma's still recovering from this revelation, and Dee's taking notes in case they run out of snack ideas at their next Christmas Crimes event (10th & 11th December at Brewery Market, FYI. More info to follow). The Jimmy Savile, Yorkshire Ripper & Frank Bruno Triangle: What do these three have in common besides being questionable dinner guests?  Broadmoor for Sale?!: It’s official – Broadmoor is up for sale! Who’s buying? Emma suggests it could make a trendy Airbnb if you don’t mind the ghost of Jack the Ripper roaming the halls. Speaking of which, did he end up there? Tune in for our conspiracy theory of the week! Why Won’t You Date Us?!: As always, we’re closing out with more applications to date us (the romantic kind, not the forensic kind). Why are they so few and far between? Is it because we talk too much about brains and murder? Sigh Buckle up – this episode is a twisted mix of crime, history, and… well, rhubarb!

You know those moments when you think "I could never commit a crime—it's too much work?" Well, Kate Webster, aka the Richmond Murderess, clearly had plenty of time on her hands and absolutely zero chill.  This 19th-century true crime story involves murder, stolen identities, and Sir David Attenborough. When we say her crime was over the top, we mean the police didn’t even know where to start—until she started strutting around in her victim's clothes like she was on a 1879 catwalk. Bold? Yes. Ridiculous? Also, yes. Why did she do it? Did anyone actually buy her human lard? And honestly, where did she get all that nerve? Join us if you want answers to these questions but also to find out what larceny and boogie woogie are.

But we also discuss other topics of incredible importance (where to get a good taco in London) and how amazing Indian food is. And watch Dee freak out a man who is in regular contact with school shooters by simply asking for advice on fixing her entire relationship history and future.  This episode is part true crime, part weird humour, and entirely endearing and captivating.

To ease new co-host Emma Farrington into her new role as Switchblade Sister from another Mister, we made this lil bonus episode where I quiz her on serial killer trivia.

What is it about us and former Murder Detectives? We can’t get enough of them!
