About this episode
Was a London magistrate, found dead in a ditch in 1678, the victim of a Catholic conspiracy, political convenience, or secrets too dangerous to survive? Why did Edmund Berry Godfrey's murder send England into hysteria? Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Andrea McKenzie to reopen the case.
