#139 - The Fall of Peggy Richards (Waterloo, London, Britain)

#139 - The Fall of Peggy Richards (Waterloo, London, Britain)

This is the story about the murder of Peggy Roberts (possibly) by Joseph McKinstry.


Today’s episode is about soldiers and sex-workers, two ancient trades intrinsically linked, especially during war-time. And although – if people were created equally – a price would never be put on a person’s life; we clearly value those who fight over those who f**k.

  • Date: Thursday 19th February 1942 at 11:55pm (the time the murder is alleged to have taken place) and Friday 20th February at 9:35am (when her body was recovered)
  • Location: South-West Foreshore, Waterloo Bridge, London, UK, SE1 & WC2
  • Victims: 1 (Peggy Richards)
  • Culprits: Joseph Ralph Bradley McKinstry ​(found not guilty)
  • Keywords: no justice, war time, blitz, soldiers, prostitutes,
