Elliot Ness and the American Demon. Almost sounds like a Nancy Drew Mystery. I wish the story were that benign. In the mid 1930’s, just after Prohibition ended, Cleveland played host to a killer whose grizzly murders rivaled that of London’s Jack the Ripper. The victims were all beheaded and often their limbs were also removed earning this sadist the moniker: Torso Killer!
My guest today is New York Times bestselling author, Daniel Stashower, who’s here to share the story of Elliot Ness and the hunt for America’s Jack the Ripper.
