It took us a while but we finally got around to talking about the original Triple H, H.H. Holmes! This guy was a dastardly sonofabitch who used the World's Fair to draw both guests and victims into his custom-built "Murder Castle" that featured secret passages, various kill rooms, and everything else you would expect to see a mad scientist utilizing to kill off multiple characters in an old-school horror movie. Holmes was said to have been a graverobber, an insurance fraudster, a snake oil salesman, and above all, a horrific murderer. While he definitely was most or all of those things, separating fact from fiction is a big part of the H.H. Holmes story, as many allegations would be slung his way once he was arrested and executed for his crimes.
In part one of our H.H. Holmes episodes, we look at his early life and the beginnings of his reign of terror that labeled him "America's First Serial Killer".
Enjoy!
