Historian Hallie Rubenhold has spent years dissecting the case of Hawley Harvey Crippen and she's here to clear a few things up.

Hallie tells Alice and Matt why she believes there's no real doubt about his guilt, the twisted reason why his victim, Belle Elmore ended up cast as a villain, and why true crime fans are still buying into the myth.

And his mistress, Ethel Le Neve? Hallie says her role in the crime deserves a closer look.
