H.H Holmes

This week two weirdos collaborate on a notorious serial killer and con-artist, H.H. Holmes. Known as Americas first serial killer, Holmes has killed anywhere from 20 to 200 people. He created the "Murder Castle" which was a hotel he filled with tortuous rooms, from gas chambers to rooms with no doors. He would use the World Fair to lure visitors into his hotel. His love for medicine as a child created a path to murder as an adult. Join us while we continue our journey into serial killers!
