Thank u so much I love how u cover these old cases and almost give them back an identity a voice from long ago I especially enjoyed this 1 as it was based during the Second World War please do more your voice is very soothing

Well done to Rachel's devoted sister Polly who never gave up pursuing an investigation! 👏

Normally criminals are just outright dumb but this guy seemed to have a pretty cohesive plan. This could have easily been swept under the rug considering the circumstances and I'm glad the coroner didn't let it.

I'm glad that Rachel had a sister who loved her and kept diligent in finding out about her sister's disappearance. I always suspected that Rachel's estranged husband had murdered her because he didn't want to pay child support for his son. I'm glad that he confessed and received the death sentence for this "horrific" murder of his estranged wife. Great investigating, presentation and photos, too.

I guess deadbeat parents have been around forever. Sad that he was such a horrible person, he killed his exwife for trying to provide for their child. I wonder how their son turned out. Thank you BC as always!♥️

It is good to learn about a case that was resolved thanks to the doctor's and dentist's professionalism, regardless of the busy circumstances during the war.

Hello everyone. I’ll never understand how someone can dismember someone they know unless they’ve always been a monster. Thanks B.C. Stay safe everyone.

I presume that if he suspected the son wasn't his, he would've mentioned it in his other whining about having to pay support for his son. Either way, it still wouldn't make it justifiable to kill Rachel. Nice to hear that he at least, eventually, confessed to being guilty.

Wow separated 3 days after marriage? He killed her because he didn’t want to give her money four her child or their child what a selfish man. I feel awful for her and the way that she died was horrible just looking at his picture he has that look of entitlement and that he doesn’t have to follow the rules like everyone else such a really sad story. What a coward this man was to kill her because he felt like she was nagging him over his responsibility Thank you Mr. BC Have a great week and can’t wait until next Monday morning

Terrible, and their poor son, I wonder what became of him, hopefully he went on to do something great with his life and 'made his mother proud'

Bless the Coroner for following-up & I'm amazed this case was well-documented despite it happening in midst of a war!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you, BC 💼✨

I'm an Uber driver in the US and I listen to BC as I'm working ( I ask if its OK). Riders love it! The episodes are short, so they can finish listening to the episode and they love his accent. Bringing BC to the masses 😆😆

This seems to be about the most common motive for murdering an ex spouse, and the killers never seem to get away with it. It's sort of exhausting to think about.

It’s always interesting to discover crimes committed during a war. We are naive in thinking that war unites us…but the psychopaths are still around.

Great video as always. Great storytelling. You should cover the 1874 unsolved kidnapping of Charley Ross.

This coverage is, actually, a masterpiece in crime reporting. Succinct, detailed, mesmerising and empathetic. I don't know how you manage this with historic crimes but you do. It must be so challenging but, honestly, it's so appreciated that you keep these people's memories alive. If I were murdered, I'd hate to just be an unsolved case because, from the grave, I'd be shouting at you all!

Great story BC - very interesting, my family were from Poplar and Bethnal Green so it was an interesting trip down memory lane, even my great nan got arrested at Bow police station and then the Bow magistrates court (punching her husband for his infidelities!!)

I love that you give us a glimpse of what happend in former times!

It's so sad the fact he not only didn't care about his son enough to even help his ex. That he took the mother of his son leaving him without any parents.

Best way to start my week. Brief Case, a cup of coffee, and a snoring mutt.

Brief Case, as always, making Monday mornings more tolerable.

I just love how he tells the stores his voice I can literally picture the story he tells in my head and take it from their. Listening to his stories have helped with my anxiety & stress thank you and keep up the GREAT WORK.

Your stories are always fascinating, and the amount of detail you uncover is impressive. You don't just tell about murders like they do on the news. You tell about the people and their lives. You don't just focus on the gore, but you don't spare the details, either. P.S. Thank you so much for keeping me entertained during a recent illness! I spent many hours listening to your stories.

I always learn something new from you, BC. I didnt realize how long ago the courts began ordering and collecting maintenance payments for children. Thanks for bring us this narration. As always, first rate.

My sister and I were just talking about war crimes and how criminals thought they could get away with it because of the war.

Why do people always think murder is the answer? Thank you BC, keep up your excellent work, and keep em coming. 🇨🇦🐘🍁🤗

Everyone was having such a rough time during those days, and I'm so glad the coroner and other officials took the time to investigate, and not just assume her to be a bomb victim.

It's impressive how much effort was put into solving this murder at the time .

I'm picking up my grandsons to take them out for breakfast and they're going to be forced to listen to you today! I love your videos! I'm going to get them on the brief case train while they're young 😂

As usual, you have a knack for re- telling fascinating Cases from the past! Interesting Case...I wonder how many more murder victims were discovered during the infamous bombing raids, and were written off as victims of the bombings?? Look forward to listening to more Cases!💖

Thank you for another well told and researched crime 👏👏

Thank you BC, great narration as always. Keep safe from the land down under.

Thank You, Brief Case, Excellent, as ALWAYS!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I figured he was Guilty!! Poor Rachel! I hope she's at Peace!💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏🕊️🕊️ Same time, same place Monday! Everyone enjoy your day! Meet you Wednesday, for Crime Reel!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😉

Well done finding another obscure case, particularly from this hectic time period. Your research and narration is always amazing. Very sad whenever an innocent victim loses their life and her son must have missed her terribly. Thanks for your work to remember these poor souls BC.

He didn't want her "harassing" him for money for HIS son? Oh, okay. It's so unfortunate that she became pregnant in their short time together. It ended up costing her her life because the father was a horrible human being. I wonder what became of the son.

I remembered reading of another murder in London found in the basement of a house that had an attempt to be covered up as being due to bomb damage, but as this story unfolded it obviously wasn't this case. Poor Rachel never deserved this end. I read Dr Keith Simpson's autobiography years ago, Forty Years of Murder; it's a fascinating read. He was a genius.

"The grist mills of the gods grind slowly but true." This was so true in this fascinating case. So many times the murder of this poor woman could have gone by the wayside, but for the diligence of all involved. Excellent presentation. Thanks.

This reminds me of a novel i recently read, "a common place killing". Sadly i don't remember the author, as I gave the book to my grandma. But the whole after war dread is the same.

Yet another truly excellent video! This was such an interesting case…given the setting, it’s interesting to think that if any one of a number of things had just been slightly different, he really might’ve gotten away with it.

Wow, that really is something. Finding non-war related missing and dead people with so many missing and dead from German bombings. How did the cops almost ever know when a person genuinely went missing? I’d love to talk to one of the cops from that time.

Thanks very much for another case Brief Case.

I love me some Brief Case! Harry was so smart,yet so dumb.. That's an old saying,my granny used to say to me all the time as a kid..I believe he embodies the message in that..

At least brief case makes my mondays great!!! Thanks 💋💋💋

Greetings from me Brief Case! Another great Monday with you. Thanks for being here and for the story. Wish safe week

Yay! BriefCase! Happy Monday, and take care. (Morning BC Fam).

OUTSTANDING pathology and police work!

The historical pics make these videos all the better. Wish there was some type of program/VR thing where you could go back in time like West World but just to look around. Maybe with our Ancestry data one day they'll come out with a way to "travel back in time" and visit old towns, ancestors, and it will be somewhat realistic.... I'd love to see my great grandparents and great great grandparents too. These vids provide some way of peeking into the past to see what they experienced. And you read it like you're speaking old English, or reading from the old articles.

I love these episodes where the guilty party could have easily gotten away with it if it weren't for his own stupidity.

It is always a great day when Brief Case uploads another masterpiece

Yay for Dr Simpson. Such a thorough and committed character!

The pathologist came in clutch with his diligence.

I might be easy to curse the police for not being more proactive, but I can't imagine the pressure of doing standard police work while a war is going on around you. Obviously, Harry Dobkin tried to take advantage of that grief in the worst way. So glad he was caught. Thanks for the retelling, BC.

Yet another top quality murder doc! Love ya! ❤️

Thank you, Brief 💼 Case for bringing this story to our attention. Such a disgusting man, what he did to his ex-wife. And his son. It takes a special kind of sickness to hack up people you know so intimately, and I hope there is a special place in hell for these kind of people. She didn't deserve that. It reminds me of what happened to my nephew...his so called GF and 2 male friends...around 5 years ago...he was having a medical emergency and instead of taking him to the hospital or calling 911, they put him in their car and drove off with him in the front seat with sunglasses and a baseball cap on his head. They drove past 2 hospitals, and stopped at a gas station for gas after they strangled him to death from behind with car jumper wires. They then drove him some distance away into another county and dumped his body by railroad tracks where he was found 4 days later by a railroad worker. His face was ripped off and his head was nearly decapitated. They were only able to identify him by his tattoos. His son was a toddler and won't remember his father, will only ever see pictures of him. He was a beautiful person who didn't deserve to be betrayed like that and left like that. Nobody deserves that. I can sympathize with those who are murdered and mutilated. It is disgusting. If you have any decency in you, any humanity, you cannot do such a thing to someone whom you've known and loved. These people are monsters.

Thank you for expending so much energy on bringing to the light of truth the un famous and often forgotten innocent victims of egregious crimes.

Hoping this will take my mind off of the horrible slaughter of the children and teachers in Uvalde Texas. 😱Prayers for all.😔 Ty Briefy. Always a joy.💖

I listen/watch every time I feel anxious and it really help eliminate my anxiety, it’s definitely your voice 🙏

Thanks for doing this case! Why murder someone if you just don't want to go through your responsibilities? Paying her off would have been way easier than dismembering her! Stay safe out there, Brief Case. Happy May Long Weekend for Victoria Day 2022!

well Dear briefcase, another good program that you showed us. your research on stories are awesome. Great work

I am always amazed at how much crime went on and mostly unsolved during the war . Very sad that a select few profited from crime whilst so many were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you for another great video. Look forward to this each Monday!

Why is it “harassment” for a mother to demand child support from the child’s father?! 🤨

It's time for everyone's favorite part of Monday! Greetings to all you wonderful Casers!🦋🌈🦄🙋🏻‍♀️🤗😻🐶💐🥰🥐🍫☕🥞🥓🍳

Good to see there was 'child support payments' since back then.

Great case BC. I am especially delighted about the role of Dr Simpson, as I have always been a great admirer of his and used his textbook as one of my pillars of learning.

I'm so glad Rachel had Polly, a devoted sister who refused to give up. She knew something wasn't right. The way you tell these stories, it's just like reading a good book, I can see them happening. Thank you.

I remember hearing about the night St. Paul's nearly burned: a great documentary about it ("The Blitz: London's Longest Night") aired on PBS almost a generation ago. This tale of cold-blooded murder, however, adds a further, horrifying new wrinkle to the events of that time.

Happy Monday and thank you for another great video.

I was not expecting that conclusion. Dude risked and received the death penalty because he was angry over child support.

Thank you for a great video! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for your hard work, i love your narration and voice🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have to take a moment to express my astonishment and admiration for everyone who worked on this case, during a war, no less. The victim could easily have been counted among the multitudes among the war dead, but observations made diligently by the examiner made the difference, and allowed the family some justice and a little peace during this turbulent time. I applaud them all. Thank you for your thorough reporting and illustrations. It always draws the listener in and gives us appreciation and emotion for the people involved.

Oh yes, thank you once again! This is the best moment in my Mondays

I love your videos ❤️ How do u you find these stories? How are you able to find so much detail? Even when they are so old, early 1900s, 1800s, 1700s.

Very interesting case and history lesson. Thanks again BC✌️

Wow! How impressive of the dentist, and all the police that led to him so the body could finally be identified. Not to mention her sisters devotion to justice. It was almost the perfect crime.

Thank you very much, BC! A fascinating case, appreciate your research & narration 🙂

Thank you BC. Every Monday i will surely listen to the old cases narrated by you. Lòoking forward to the next one.

Hello BC, I'm glad to see you here. You comfort me in times of angst. Thank you so much. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤

Doing a great job, dear sir. Always looking forward to your fascinating, but gruesome, stories.

What can I say? You are a superstar!!! I can't believe the amazing history from 1800s that you keep on bringing to us. I really enjoy it tremendously. I just love that period. Bless you for your hard great work Love from South Africa

Dr Simpson was an amazing Coroner .

Brilliant so look forward to Monday knowing Brief will be on here .

Very interesting and fortunate that the M.E. was able to find the broken bone in her throat. (Hyoid)? Very nice composition and storytelling. That's why you're my most favorite

Morning have a great week it’s coffee and a true story so mine starting well 👍😁
