In this episode, we’re traveling back to the late 19th century to meet two women whose stories left behind questions that still haven’t been answered. Florence Maybrick was convicted of poisoning her husband with arsenic—but was she really a murderess, or did a scandalous marriage, an affair, and a web of suspicious circumstances condemn her?

And then there’s Jesse Booth, a mother accused of something even more unthinkable: killing her own baby. But did she really commit the crime, or was she another woman caught in a story where suspicion proved easier than certainty? Listen in as we draw parallels to the current Lindsay Clancy case.

Two women. Two shocking accusations. And two cases where the truth may be far more complicated than the headlines made it seem.

Season 4 is coming!. Starting back up again October 2026, we will dive even deeper into forgotten family histories. We’re uncovering forgotten stories of unsung heroes, industrial disasters, imposters, complicated love triangles, and remarkable survivors. New mysteries, new voices, and more stories waiting to be unearthed from the past.

History remembers the names of men first. It carves them into buildings, headlines, and verdicts, while the women caught between them become footnotes. They were called muses, temptresses, excuses. In tonight’s episode, we follow two love triangles separated by circumstance but bound by pattern: one played out beneath the electric lights of Gilded Age New York, the other behind closed doors where jealousy and control went unnoticed until it was too late. At the center of both is not romance, but power masqueraded as love, and violence justified as passion. The real story lived in the silence history left behind.
