During the blackout nights of WWII London, under the haunting wail of air raid sirens and the devastation of the Blitz, one of the city’s most chilling true crimes was quietly buried beneath the rubble. In this episode, we uncover the twisted tale of Rachel Dobkin, whose dismembered and burned body was discovered in a bombed-out chapel in 1942. As Londoners struggled through nightly raids and rationing, someone used the chaos of war to commit murder—and almost got away with it.For further information on my latest book Wartime London’s ‘Bonnie and Clyde’: The Crime Spree of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten please visit <a href="https://prashganendran.com/the-cleft-chin-murder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://prashganendran.com/the-cleft-chin-murder/</a>Prefer to watch on YouTube?
