The Babes in the Woods – A Tale of Two Crimes

The Babes in the Woods – A Tale of Two Crimes

Two cases. Two countries. One chilling name.

In this episode, we explore the Babes in the Woods murders—two tragic crimes decades and oceans apart. First, we revisit Brighton, England, 1986, where nine-year-olds Karen Hadaway and Nicola Fellows vanished after playing in Wild Park. Their bodies were found the next day, and the case would go unsolved for over 30 years—until DNA evidence and a change in double jeopardy laws finally brought their killer, Russell Bishop, to justice.

Then, we turn to Pennsylvania, 1934, where three young girls were discovered in Pine Grove Furnace State Park. The investigation led to a shocking murder-suicide involving their father and his niece, but the motive remains a mystery to this day.

Through forensic breakthroughs, public pressure, and heart-breaking testimony, these cases reveal the enduring impact of child murders on families, communities, and justice systems.

Join us as we unravel the stories behind the name that still echoes through true crime history: The Babes in the Woods.
