The Lipstick Killer: The Murderer that Terrified Chicago

The Lipstick Killer: The Murderer that Terrified Chicago

In 1946, Chicago was gripped by fear. Three brutal murders, a mysterious message scrawled in lipstick, and a desperate police manhunt led to one of the most notorious cases in American true crime. Morgan and Kaelyn uncover the story of William Heirens, the man accused of being the Lipstick Killer, examining the evidence, the coerced confessions, and the lingering question: did they catch the right man?
