"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 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...
