Ep. 119: The Murder of George Harry Storrs, Pt. 2

On November 1, 1909, in the small UK mill town of Staleybridge, construction magnate George Harry Storrs was stabbed to death in his kitchen. Four eyewitnesses, including George Harry's wife, saw the attack and got a good luck at the murderer - yet over a century later and despite several trials, the crime remains unsolved. In the thrilling conclusion to our two-parter on the case, we meet Cornelius "Cornie" Howard and Mark Wilde, the two unfortunate ne'er-do-wells who were tried in Storrs' death. Did one of them get away with murder? Or did the real killer elude police altogether, hiding a motive too sordid for polite society to guess?  ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Magic Mind - Get up to 56% off your subscription for the next 10 days and 20% off your first order with our code SCARYSC2020 at MagicMind.co/aintitscary!
