Bridget Durgan: The Maid, The Murder, and the Smile That Haunted 1867
News of the Times | Episode 515 | 1867
Domestic Servant or Cold-Blooded Killer? The Gruesome Case That Shocked 1867
In a quiet New Jersey town in 1867, a physician’s wife is found brutally murdered — stabbed, slashed, and burned — and the only suspect? Her Irish maid, Bridget Durgan. With 50 wounds, bite marks, and a suspicious lack of robbery, this was no ordinary Victorian murder…
Was Bridget a jealous killer or the perfect scapegoat in a time steeped in prejudice and paranoia?
Join us as we unravel one of the most horrifying domestic crimes of the 19th century — a case so shocking it made headlines across the Atlantic.
But that’s not all…
In our “Further Particulars,” we uncover the bizarre tale of The Iron Masked Man — a mystery gent pushing a pram across Britain in a wager worth a fortune.
