The Forty Elephants is arguably the greatest criminal enterprise lost to history.  This group tormented London and surrounding regions for decades, maybe even centuries.  Their members lived like queens because they were never caught in any of the major crimes they committed.  Listen to this story that begins in the late 1700s, ends in the 1950s, and sounds like a fictional heist novel.  This may be my favorite episode I've ever recorded!SHOW NOTEShttps://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/dec/27/girl-gang-london-underworldhttps://www.wondriumdaily.com/criminal-secret-society-the-story-of-forty-elephants/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Elephantshttps://southwarknews.co.uk/history/in-depth-history/alice-diamond-and-the-forty-elephants-the-all-female-criminal-gang-which-caused-waves-on-both-sides-of-the-atlantic/?fbclid=IwAR1uXT8zuCfamH0GwlozUdLTLtxGWwnQ8P0Q7AvkczwTzmbtNNFoPdfhjUAhttps://www.dannydutch.com/post/meet-the-forty-elephants-the-all-girl-gang-from-londonhttps://www.bitchmedia.org/article/remembering-forty-elephants-gang-cunning-brutalityhttps://medium.com/true-crime-fans/the-sophisticated-all-female-gang-that-terrorized-london-for-almost-100-years-29f9fb5f3b4cSupport the show
