Season 2, Episode 3: Amelia Dyer - The Angel Maker
Summary: “The old baby farm, the wretched Miss Dyer - At the Old Bailey her wages is paid - In times long ago, we’d ‘a’made a big fire - And roasted so nicely that wicked old jade.” That is a popular song from Victorian England about one of their most prolific serial killers, and this episode of Lawless Women of History’s leading lady, Amelia Dyer. A murderer responsible for what some estimate to be upwards of 400 child deaths. You have been warned.
