Episode notes

Inspector Dew arrested Holly Crippen, then he went downstairs to arrest Ethel Aneeve. He opened the cabin door to find her wearing her young man's disguise and reading a novel. She later said that when he told her why he was there, she fainted. The police found jewelry sewn into Holly Cippen's clothes, including two of Bell's brooches. On August 1st, the Manchester Evening News reported the quote, end of the Great Ocean Chase. In court at their first public hearing in London, a photographer secretly took a picture of them with a camera hidden inside of his hat.

In February of 1910, members of the Music Hall Ladies Guild in London received a strange letter from their treasurer – a singer who went by the name Belle Elmore. It said that she suddenly had to travel to the United States, and that she was resigning from her position.

Several weeks later, at the Music Hall Ladies Guild fundraising ball, Belle's husband arrived with a date. And she was wearing Belle's brooch.
