KING OF THE MURDER CASTLE - H.H. HOLMES : THE TORTURE DOCTOR

Episode #6 / Part 2

"The Torture Doctor is in, back here to confess his sins..."
[Torture Doctor by Alkaline Trio]

Here at The Murder Scene Podcast, H.H. Holmes is one of our favorite subjects. His story is entwined with a magickal time in the history of Chicago, the World's Fair held there in 1893, and his own growing mythos that he just might have been the OG Serial Killer - Jack the Ripper!

Episode #6 of The Murder Scene Podcast delves into the life, background, serial killings, scams & schemes and shenanigans pulled off by the murder-trickster, H.H. Holmes.

In this Part 2, we delve into Holmes's early criminal career while he was still Herman Mudgett, as he moved from small town to small town...and then fled. Wherever he went, death and destruction seemed to follow. And soon he shed his birth name, moved to Chicago, and became a legend...

In this Part 1, we visit the historic backdrop of Gilded Age Chicago and her World's Fair, and look at the pre-Fair years where Chicago suffered birthing-pains of her rapid growth from scarred burn victim after the Great Chicago Fire, to her rise from the ashes as the beautiful, glittering jewel of the Mid-West, and the arrival of a dark, mysterious out-of-towner...
