EP186: The Canal Murderer

John Sweeney seemed like a hard-working and decent man when he
married his first wife, Anne in 1976. However, by the time his

alcoholic who was a threat to women everywhere. By the time the law
caught up with him, he had murdered at least two women and disposed
of their bodies in a most horrific way.
