Episode Details

In this episode, we examine the shocking murder of beloved British teacher Ann Maguire, who was killed inside her classroom at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds, England, in 2014.

For more than 40 years, Ann dedicated her life to teaching and mentoring generations of students. But hidden behind the appearance of an intelligent and well-behaved teenager, Will Cornick had spent years developing an obsessive hatred toward her. What makes this case especially disturbing is that Cornick openly discussed his violent fantasies with friends long before the attack, yet nobody believed he would act on them.

We explore the life of Ann Maguire, the warning signs that were missed, the psychology behind Will Cornick's fixation, and the tragic classroom attack that shocked the United Kingdom and remains one of the most disturbing school-related murders in modern British criminal history.
