Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was an American doctor that had lived in London for ten years prior to his arrest and execution. Crippen found his wife a nag so he killed her, buried her in the cellar, and moved his girlfriend into his home. Within 3 months of the disappearence of Cora Scotland Yard came knocking and Crippen and the fair Ethel le Neve vacated the country. After his departure, the detectives found Cora (in pieces) in the cellar and the captain of the ship they were on recognized the couple and they were arrested in Canadian waters and brought back to London. (Ethel was incognito dressed as a boy and claimed to be Crippen's 16 year old son)

Crippin was tried at the Old Bailey in October 1910. Before his execution he declared his love for Ethel le Neve, she was aquitted as an accessory after the fact. Crippin was hanged on November 23, 1910.
