In this episode, Lisa and Marie tell the chilling story of H.H. Holmes, labeled as America's first serial killer, exploring his life, the infamous murder castle he built in Chicago, and the victims who were often forgotten in the sensationalism surrounding his crimes. We discuss the historical context of Holmes' actions, the literature surrounding the topic, and the importance of remembering the victims in true crime narratives. This conversation delves into the dark history of H.H. Holmes, often regarded as America's first serial killer in the backdrop of the Chicago World's Fair. We explore the sinister nature of Holmes' hotel and the role of the police during this chaotic time - there was no real motivation to look for missing people. They also touch on the grim business of body trading in the 1800s. Guys! this loser was a monster! This ended up being a 2 parter, so per the usual Monday is part one and Thursday is part 2. Enjoy the story! Love Marie and Lisa.
