H.H. Holmes, Part 1 | Morbid

When Boston police arrested Dr. Henry Howard Holmes in a West End boarding house on November 17, 1894, they assumed they had apprehended an interstate criminal guilty of defrauding the Fidelity Insurance company of $10,000 and of being a horse thief in Texas. Holmes had been tracked to New England by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who had suspected him of other crimes in various cities across the country; yet even the most seasoned and creative detective couldn’t have imagined the horrific scope and magnitude of crimes he’d committed.

I had an English teacher in highschool that was extremely cool and he had a display of “special” books to him in class, one day he said I could look over them and pick ANY one book to borrow and read… The book I chose was “Devil in the White City”, purely because of the cover. I was blown away by the book and story of H.H. HOLMES I AM ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR Y’ALL TO COVER THIS ONE. ❤❤❤❤ thank you

What caused that full on feedback induced delayed overlay of sentences right before the 41 minute mark? 😮 I had to listen to it 3 times to assure myself that it wasn't just me!! 😂

[@Susset007]

I was thinking the same thing. I was like whaaaat? 😄

[@lindseysmoth]

Your storytelling skills are fantastic! Not letting your investigative skills go unmentioned. What a fantastic venue! Thanks for incredibly entertainment. 🎉

[@Star-hk4jt]

I started just listening to you guys and im obsessed ❤

[@TheOldandslow]

good choice!

[@brandonboewe6198]

I live in a town that is next to pretty much all of those other towns mentioned in NH. Gilmanton, Tilton, Loudon, and Concord all border Canterbury. At one point or another this nutjob probably was a stones throw away from where my house sits now.... Great start, I'm familar with this story but soooo much more detail!! Looking forward to the rest of it!

[@koreystamper394]

I love you

Apparently Clara is buried in Canterbury. She settled there after she remarried, but still.

[@oliviasanders8649]

You guys need to post part 2 to the heidi case

[@hmg600]

Side note- no pay out to beneficiary if cause of death is suicide. So a murder/suicide would void the suicide victims policy.

[@krystalhill3082]

I truly love you guys

[@traceyclarke7274]

Weird Darkness brought me here and I'm glad! 😊

[@Susset007]

Heyoooooo ho exciting 🎊🥳🎉

[@sandityche]

I, 100%, believe HH Holmes IS Jack The Ripper.

[@Tanglangfa]

Insurance doesn’t pay for suicide.

[@jaimiecarpediemer]

Usually, but sometimes it does. And I bet back in the 1800s they hadn’t thought to add that clause yet. 🤔

[@koreystamper394]

I love you and my mom love you to

[@koreystamper394]

Poop

[@user-mi4id7vk6m]

Dont know if Im excited about this or not but its about time. Cant say Im proud to be apart of his blood line.

[@TheOldandslow]

apart of his blood line, or a part of his blood line?

[@Jess-yb4xr]

Love this show but so frustrating how they always ruin it in the beginning. I'm going to see how many episodes I can search for to find one where they don't ruin the story in the first 5 minutes by telling you what's going to happen. If I can make it to 10 episodes of them ruining the whole story in the first 5 min then I'm switching to a different podcast..

[@gemmagnolia]

Good Grief...So much needless childlike chatter... 😖

[@satanistfuck]

i wish you'd stop talking on top of each other
