Fan CastingThe disappearance of Belle Elmore

Belle Elmore was the wife of Dr. Hawley Crippen. It wasn't exactly a happy marriage as the two were often seen in public bickering at each other. Their faltering marriage came to a head when Elmore went missing in January 1910. Crippen would go on to claim that he found her, but she was dead and cremated in California. But something didn't add up; something wasn't right. Especially when Crippen's assistant Ethel Neave moved in with him soon after and was seen wearing Elmore's clothes and jewelry. Upon interrogation and a search, Crippen changed his story stating he lied about his wife's death to cover up the fact she left him and fled America. However, suspicion grew even more when Crippen and Neave went missing. After four searches of Crippen's house, Scotland Yard police found the drug that Crippen used to poison Elmore, along with her severed remains in the cellar. Crippen and Neave were then found and arrested after trying to flee to Canada.
