Kate Webster

About this episode

The murder of Julia Martha Thomas, also known as the Barnes Mystery or the Richmond Murder, was one of the most infamous crimes of 19th-century Britain. Julia was murdered by her servant Kate Webster, who dismembered her remains and impersonated her for two weeks before fleeing the country. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Kate Webster. Kate was 30 years old when she murdered her employer. But it's the way that the murder occurred and what Kate did afterwards that shocks so many people about this case. There is also a possible theory that Kate planned this out before she even took the job.
