Part 2: Murder, Madness, and Money – The True Horrors of H.H. Holmes

Step inside the mind of one of history’s most chilling killers—a man who built an empire of deception, fraud, and murder. H.H. Holmes, America’s first documented serial killer, was more than just a conman; he was an architect of horror. His infamous "Murder Castle" in Chicago was no ordinary hotel—it was a labyrinth of terror, complete with soundproof chambers, hidden gas pipes, and trapdoors that led straight to the basement, where bodies vanished without a trace.

With the 1893 World’s Fair as his hunting ground, Holmes lured unsuspecting victims—young women seeking work, travelers in search of lodging, and anyone who fell for his charming façade. But once they stepped inside, they never came out.

How did Holmes construct a palace of death in the middle of Chicago? How many victims did he claim before the law finally caught up with him? And when detectives began tracing his movements, why did they discover a trail of bodies stretching from Illinois to Canada?

This episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast unravels the terrifying truth behind the Murder Castle, the victims who entered and never returned, and the manhunt that finally exposed Holmes’ gruesome crimes. But as investigators closed in, Holmes fled—dragging with him three innocent children who would become his most heartbreaking victims.

From Chicago to Toronto, Indianapolis to Philadelphia, Holmes stayed one step ahead of the law. But in the end, even his greatest deception couldn’t save him.

What truly happened inside the Murder Castle? And when Holmes was finally caught, did he confess to 27 murders—or was the real number much, much higher?

Step inside the mind of a killer—if you dare.
