The Devil's Greatest Swindle

from High Crimes and History Hosted by Trevor Rhodes

H.H. Holmes: “The Devil in the White City.” “America’s First Serial Killer.” Convicted of nine killings and admitting to twenty-seven, he operated a murder castle at the Chicago World’s Fair and luring tourists to their death. All of that is false. Holmes murdered nine people, but the narrative of Holmes in the American public is the “greatest swindle” he ever pulled. This is the true story.
