On October 16, 1888, a Whitechapel neighborhood watch group received a letter addressed "From Hell" which chillingly described a murder. Even more chillingly, the letter came with what appeared to be a piece of a human kidney preserved in spirits. The macabre note was unsigned, but the police had a good idea of who could have sent it. And they had a good idea of who the kidney may have once belonged to: a woman named Catherine Eddowes.

Episode 113 - The Lincoln Assassination — And The Larger Conspiracy Behind It

On October 14, 1912, Teddy Roosevelt — then running for an unprecedented third term under the banner of the Bull Moose Party — set out to give a speech at the Milwaukee Auditorium in Wisconsin. En route, he crossed paths with a mentally ill saloon owner named John Schrank.

For some reason, Schrank had become convinced that Roosevelt had assassinated President William McKinley in 1901. And so Schrank waited with the crowd, then fired at Roosevelt with a Colt revolver.
