In this gripping episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell delve into the chilling case of Catherine Wilson — the so-called “Victorian Poisoner.” A trusted nurse who turned her patients’ trust into a death sentence, Wilson used poison to line her pockets, leaving a trail of mysterious deaths behind. The Wansells unravel how a woman meant to heal became Britain’s last woman publicly hanged, executed outside Newgate in 1862. With their trademark mix of intrigue and insight, they expose the hypocrisy, greed, and horror lurking beneath Victorian respectability. It’s a story of betrayal, cold calculation — and the darkest side of human nature.
