53: H.H. Holmes (Part 1)

This week we're celebrating one whole year since we started the podcast! For this very exciting occasion we decided to dive into a case we've been wanting to cover for a while: Chicago's devil, H.H. Holmes.In part one of this two part episode we cover Holmes's early life, his endless schemes, how he ended up in Chicago, the construction of his infamous "murder castle", and his first confirmed murders. Join us next week in part two where we dive into the two major versions of Holmes's crimes that exist and his connection to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Thanks so much for listening everyone, you've made this year great! :)FURTHER READING:H.H. Holmes: The Devil You Don’t KnowH. H.
