In this episode, we go way back to the 1800s to dive into how H.H. Holmes built an empire at an early age. by using his education, entrepreneurial spirit, and relationships along the way. Masking his killing spree behind the 1893 World's Columbian Fair, Holmes lured hundreds of people to his Murder Castle just outside of Chicago, Illinois. Join us in Part 1 of H.H. Holmes, and let Beth tell you the rest in her fabulous story-telling style!
