    • History

This sounds like one of Sherlock's great cases - the mysterious disappearance of Elizabeth Canning, but it is a true story. What you may not know is that she comes back - after about a month, and in a pretty dire situation. So far, so horrible but straightforward. But then, once her kidnappers are tried, convicted, and thrown in prison, something really odd happens. The whole case turns on its head, and Elizabeth is the one thrown into the spotlight. What on earth has happened? What is she accused of, and how does the whole thing end up? For that, and more detail into the horrible case of what happened to Elizabeth when she disappeared in 1753, welcome along to this week's episode of the Ladies Who London Podcast.
