File 81: Jane Toppan and Winnie Ruth Judd
In the 1890’s Jane Toppan killed 12 people and possibly many more with the ambition “to have killed more people—helpless people—than any other man or woman who ever lived.”
In 1931 Winnie Ruth Judd was accused of murdering her two best friends and stuffing their bodies in steamer trunks, earning her the nickname The Trunk Murderess. But was she really guilty?

Customer Reviews
One of the BEST
I adore the hosts and the show. They tell stories that are lesser known and interesting. They show respect for all the victims and often poke fun at the stupidity of criminals. Their “spin” on topics is just as exciting when they find out what they will be researching and then when they tell it. Well told stories and the dynamic between Sherrie and Josh is one of the best that’s on air at the moment. Proud to be a Profiler and will continue to support this amazing podcast!!
Insightful and non conventional
I listened to several crime podcasts. This one is different. I know that one of the crime podcasts used a clip of this show as a bad example to demonstrate that the hosts should respect the case and respect the victim. I need to say come on! Listen to their full episode! Sherrie and Josh they respect the case and they respect the victim. Of course they make fun of the criminals and how stupid they are! That’s why it makes this show entertaining and non conventional! They are like two friends sitting next to me in my couch, with all the good crime stories! Some of their stories are really unique and really touching. Thanks! Josh for your willingness to share your personal story! Hug hug! They address stories that are from under represented populations. I really like the pride month stories. They are my new world of crimes.
Fabulous, you do you.
Great coverage and interesting cases
I enjoy the hosts and they have introduced me to many cases I didn’t know about, which I didn’t think was possible. Really enjoying the stories and their coverage.
