The Serial Killer Podcast

In the final chapter of our 10-year anniversary series, we follow HH Holmes to the end of the road: the murder of his accomplice Benjamin Pitezel in Philadelphia, and the long, deceitful journey with three of the Pitezel children who never came home. As the Pinkertons and detective Frank Geyer close in, the 'Murder Castle' is torn open, Holmes stands trial and is hanged at Moyamensing Prison in 1896. Finally, we strip away the legend to find a smaller, colder truth, and remember the names of the victims.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://x.com/serialkillerpod
