Episode 10 : Memorial Murders 8 -the sad demise of Marguerite Beatrice Burge

In this episode of 'Hooked on True Crime', hosts Ali and Sarah explore the case of Marguerite Beatrice Burge, a young woman who was brutally attacked and left for dead during World War II. The conversation begins with light-hearted banter about binge-watching 'Tiger King' (have we managed to be retro cool?) and Ali's infamous dad jokes (send help), before transitioning into the serious topic of Marguerite's tragic story. The hosts discuss the investigation that followed her discovery, the forensic evidence collected, and the various suspects involved, including 'Private Pat' and 'Private Ray'. The discussion covers the discovery of her body, the subsequent investigation, the trial, and the eventual conviction of Private Ray for her murder.
