Full Episode
This episode includes discussions of murder, child and infant loss and poisoning. Consider this when deciding how and when you'll listen. Walk into any room and you'll probably find someone in deep, deep debt. Maybe they're young and saddled with student loans, successful enough to take out a mortgage, or just love online shopping. Others have a car loan or had to finance a medical emergency.
It all has the same end result. A giant, scary number. Four figures, five figures, six figures. To pay it off, you need to make a plan and stick with it. Today's subject, William Palmer, had a plan, and he stuck with it, to the tune of possibly 10 murders. Welcome to Serial Killers, a Spotify podcast. I'm Janice Morgan.

This is our second episode on Dr. William Palmer, a man whose gambling problems spiraled into at least one murder. Palmer became infamous in the Victorian era, but was he a serial killer? Today, we'll continue looking into the suspicious deaths that surrounded Palmer, especially his own friends and family, and see how they compare to his known crime, the murder of John Cook. Stay with us.
