Introduction
The case of Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen
is one of the most famous British criminal cases. This was the first
major case that Bernard Spilsbury, the famous pathologist, was
called in to investigate. The case also involved the major use of
radio in tracking down the
suspects.

Hawley Harvey Crippen was born in Michigan, USA, in 1862. When he was 21 he came to England to improve his medical knowledge. He obtained a diploma, which was endorsed by the Faculty of the Medical College of Philadelphia, and in 1885 Crippen acquired another diploma, as an eye and ear specialist, from the Ophthalmic Hospital in New York. These qualifications were not sufficient for Crippen to practice as a Doctor in the UK.
