EP 430 - Raymond Edmunds and The Ladies of Llangollen

Kerri covers the case of Raymond Edmunds, dubbed "Mr. Stinky" by a cheeky newspaper sub-editor. He was a convicted double murderer and serial rapist who terrorized Victoria, Australia for over two decades. Donna tells us about Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, the Ladies of Llangollen. They were two upper-class Irish women determined to resist the fate of conventional marriage, so committed to their freedom that they disguised themselves as men and fled Ireland together in 1778. They settled into a Gothic home called Plas Newydd in North Wales, where their unconventional life together both scandalized and captivated everyone. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
