200: The Ruxton Murders

200: The Ruxton Murders

In 1935, a quiet English town was rocked by one of the most notorious forensic cases in British history. When dismembered remains were discovered in a ravine near the Scottish border, investigators confronted a mystery that seemed impossible to untangle - until groundbreaking science changed everything.

In this episode, we delve into the story of Dr. Buck Ruxton, the respected physician whose carefully maintained façade hid a violent undercurrent. Through innovative detective work, early forensic anthropology, and a nationwide investigation, the truth behind the Ruxton murders reshaped criminal science to this day.
