Herman Webster Mudgett better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes, was an American serial killer active from December 1891 to November 1894. Despite his confession of 27 murders (including some people who were verifiably still alive) while awaiting execution, Holmes was convicted and sentenced to death for only one murder, that of accomplice and business partner Benjamin Pitezel. Victims were killed in a mixed-use building which he owned in Chicago, located about three miles west of the 1893 World's Fair: Columbian Exposition, supposedly called the World's Fair Hotel (informally called “The Murder Castle”), though evidence suggests the hotel portion was never truly open for business.This episode is sponsored by PodDecks: Go to http://www.poddecks.com and use Promo Code Larry21 for 10% off your first purchase.
