EP283: America's First Serial Killer H.H. Holmes

Step inside the chilling world of Dr. H. H. Holmes, the suave con man, medical fraudster, and architect of America’s most infamous “Murder Castle.” In this Early Release episode, we peel back the polished veneer Holmes wore so well to expose the predator beneath. Aman who turned charm into a weapon, bodies into profit, and opportunity into terror.From his eerie medical-school schemes and corpse-insurance scams… to the labyrinthine Englewood building designed to confuse, isolate, and kill… to the devastating murder of Benjamin Pitezel and the cross-country hunt for his missing children… this episode follows the full arc of a man who reinvented himself with every handshake and erased those who trusted him.Thank you to Patreon member Tiffany M. for the suggestion!!
