Michigan's Unknown First Serial Killer: Henry Scott Mausell


Listen Later

Michigan’s first “official” serial killer is usually dated to the 1960s. But the records say otherwise.In 1916, a new husband, a picnic, and a bag left at a Grand Rapids grocery store unraveled a man of many names-- James Allen, James Curtis, John Allerton-- until only one remained: Henry Scott Mausell. We trace the pattern that shadowed Mausell for years: a dead son, two sisters in a staged scene, and countless women who answered his letters and disappeared.
