The Abduction At Shrigley Hall

The Abduction At Shrigley Hall

Author: redrumpodcast October 16, 2025 Duration: 24:36
In 1826, fifteen-year-old Ellen Turner left her boarding school believing her mother was ill and her father was in danger. But the carriage waiting outside wasn’t sent by her parents—it was sent by a man she had never met. Within hours, Ellen was across the border, standing before a blacksmith in Scotland, being forced to marry a stranger twice her age. What followed would become one of the most scandalous abductions in British history—a story of lies, greed, and manipulation that exposed the terrifying vulnerability of women in a world where wealth made them powerful, but never safe. This is the story of The Shrigley Abduction. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Behind every headline is a human story, often lost in the sensational details of the crime itself. REDRUM true crime shifts the focus back to where it belongs, exploring the lives and legacies of those most profoundly affected. Host and writer Grace Cordell guides listeners through a nuanced examination of cases that have left indelible marks, weaving historical context with personal narrative. This isn't just about the what or the who; it's a thoughtful, respectful exploration of the lasting impact on families, communities, and the fabric of society itself. Each episode of this podcast is a standalone deep dive, committed to honoring the truth with integrity and compassion. You'll hear stories told with a clarity that prioritizes dignity over drama, offering a more complete and human understanding of events that are too often simplified. Grace's presentation grounds the narrative in reality, emphasizing that these are not just tales from the past but real events with enduring consequences. Tune in for a series that treats its difficult subject matter with the depth and solemnity it demands, making REDRUM true crime a distinct voice in the genre.
