Episode Description

It’s perhaps the ultimate sin. Priests, nuns, and other spiritual leaders who turn murderous, hiding their evil deeds behind their faith. 

Thou Shalt Not Kill, a new podcast available exclusively on Wondery+, lifts the lid on shocking stories of the sacred and profane.

On September 5th 1913, two boys walking on the shore of the Hudson find the torso of a woman. The body is wrapped in newspaper and a monogrammed pillowcase, which holds the key to uncovering the shocking identity of her killer. But our story reveals a troubling history – was this a tragedy waiting to happen? And was the woman in the Hudson the murderer’s only victim?

Hosted by actor, podcaster and true-crime obsessive Anna Leong Brophy, one half of Wondery’s award-winning podcast hit Terribly Famous.
