Read “Thunderstruck” by Erik Larson for a great intertwining of Marconi’s invention radio and a Victorian murder mystery in London! It’s a great story. And all true, too.

In some recent cases, precise cause of death has been more difficult to determine.

Webster, a convicted thief and fraudster, chopped up Thomas with an axe, boiled the remains and gave the dripping to local children to eat.

Can you imagine the police constable who originally answered the phone?

“Hello, this is David Attenborough. I was minding my roses in the backyard, when I discovered a human skull.”

“Riiiiight. Tell me, “Mister Attenborough”, or should I say “Sir David”, have we had a bit to drink today?”

“No, really, this is David Attenborough! And this is a real human skull!”

“Look, you. I’ve had a hard enough day as it is. I don’t need some snockered yob telling me about ‘is skulls what’s in his backyard. If you keep this up, I’ll send a couple constables around to ‘ave some words with you!”

“Oh, good. When can I expect them?”

“Oh, sod.”

Kate Webster's great, great granddaughter has hired Jose Baez and the bird-flipping Cheney Mason to dispute the murder conviction and put forth the premise that the victim actually drown in the boiling pot on the stove in a horrible accident. Mr. Attenborough, by digging up the skull, disturbed the crime scene and tampered with evidence. Because the skull was hidden so well for 132 years, the conviction must be over turned because the DNA has deteriorated. Yes, Miss Webster is long since dead but the great, great granddaughter is booked on Nancy Grace and has received $200,000 from ABC news for pictures and an interview.
