Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction. In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.

    The Monster in Plain Sight: Jimmy Savile

    He was the BBC’s quirky golden boy — cigar in hand, tracksuit on, always ready to raise money for charity. Margaret Thatcher lobbied to get him knighted. The Queen pinned the honor on him. And all the while, Jimmy Savile was one of Britain’s most prolific sexual predators.

    The Nazi Killed at the Laundromat — and How It Shaped Modern Extremism

    In August 1967, George Lincoln Rockwell — founder of the American Nazi Party and one of the most hated men in America — was shot by a sniper while doing laundry at a suburban strip mall. His murder made international headlines. The funeral descended into chaos. Conspiracy theories emerged immediately. And then...America forgot. But Rockwell's death had lasting impact: It shattered American neo-Nazism into the decentralized, leaderless cells we see today.

    BONUS: Alex Haley vs. the American Führer

    In 1966, a year after publishing The Autobiography of Malcolm X, journalist Alex Haley walked into the American Nazi Party headquarters to interview its founder, George Lincoln Rockwell — who had insisted the interviewer not be Jewish. Playboy sent a Black man. The result was one of the most surreal and masterful interviews in American journalism. Sixteen months later, Rockwell was gunned down. But first, he faced a man who embodied everything he despised.

    Horst Wessel: The Making of a Nazi Martyr

    When Horst Wessel died in 1930, he was an obscure 22-year-old member of the SA. Within months, Joseph Goebbels had elevated him into a saint of the Third Reich, complete with a theme song that would echo through rallies, classrooms, and pogroms. This episode traces how a violent street thug became the most famous Nazi martyr — and why his name still matters in extremist circles today.

    Murder in the Mews: The Fall of Elvira Barney

    London in the early 1930s was captivated by the Bright Young Things — aristocratic sons and daughters whose glittering parties and endless scandals filled the tabloids. Among them was Elvira Mullens Barney, a socialite whose beauty and notoriety made her one of the set’s most talked-about figures. But on the morning of May 31, 1932, the headlines turned deadly. Her lover, Michael Scott Stephen, was found shot in her West End flat. Was it murder, a tragic accident, or something in between?

    BONUS: Bernard Spilsbury, Britain’s Celebrity Pathologist

    Before true-crime podcasts and TV dramas, Britain had Bernard Spilsbury — the forensic pathologist whose courtroom certainty could sway a jury faster than any lawyer. He was the Crown’s star witness in the Elvira Barney case. In this bonus, we dig into Spilsbury’s rise as the “People’s Pathologist,” how his confidence helped shape modern forensics, and why his legacy is as controversial as it is influential.
