How Ancient Cities Caught Serial Killers Without Detectives

How did ancient cities deal with serial killers before modern policing, forensic science, or detectives?

In this episode, we explore how Athens, Rome, Han Dynasty China, Babylon, medieval Paris, and London responded to waves of unexplained killings. Without fingerprints, crime labs, or investigative units, justice often relied on rumor, confession, divine judgment, and public spectacle.

From the Athenian Areopagus court to Roman interrogations, from Babylon’s river ordeal to London’s “hue and cry,” this documentary reveals how fear shaped ancient justice systems — and how cities managed panic when evidence was scarce.

Did they actually catch the killers?
Or did they simply catch… someone?

This historical deep dive explores crime, law, public executions, superstition, and the psychology of justice before modern policing.

If you enjoy dark history, medieval crime, and ancient legal systems — this one is for you.
