Over four years, thirteen bodies would be scattered across the city, the bodies were dismembered with surgical precision and drained of blood.

Terror gripped the city. Amid the growing uproar, Cleveland’s besieged mayor turned to his newly-appointed director of public safety: Eliot Ness. Ness had come to Cleveland fresh from his headline-grabbing exploits in Chicago, where he and his band of “Untouchables” led the frontline assault on Al Capone’s bootlegging empire. Now he would confront a case that would redefine his storied career. How did America's Ripper hide in plain sight? Daniel Stashower takes us into the crimes as only he can.

Then later, we revisit the supernatural aspects of this story as covered in The Holzer Files: Season 2 Episode 1 The Phantom Hand where Dave Schrader, Cindy Kaza and Shane Pittman revisited the sites of some of these murders in the hope of putting restless souls to peace. Sabrina Marie and Tresa Muncy join us to talk about the paranormal in and around the city that ties to these devastating deaths.
