    The Red Barn Murder: What Happened to Maria Marten?

    In this episode, we uncover the 1827 murder of Maria Marten and the lies William Corder told after her disappearance. We follow the case from Maria’s life in Polstead to the discovery of her body, Corder’s dramatic arrest, his shocking defense at trial, and the confession he made before his execution. But the story did not end at the gallows. Corder’s body was dissected, his skin was used to bind books about the case, and the murder became surrounded by ghost stories, alleged affairs, sinister rumors, and the legend of a cursed skull. Which parts are documented history—and which were created by nearly 200 years of retelling? Listen now to uncover the facts, evidence, and dark folklore behind The Red Barn Murder.
