He preyed on women leading up to and during the World Fair in Chicago just before the turn of the 20th century by leading victims into his specially built "murder castle". There, he would charm them into relinquishing their property and wealth to him, before he brutally slayed them. Join us for part 1 of our series on the infamous H.H. Holmes
