Man Marries 50 Plus Women, Only for them All to Die or Disappear Mysteriously

This is the incredibly unusual story of Johann Otto Hoch, who ended up marrying over 50 women, only to kill them or have them disappear, while stealing all of their money. Johann was the prolific serial killer of the 1890's in Chicago area.

Good to see you back, brother! This man seemed to be an evil monster. Never heard of him until now. Thanks for all of the information on all those poor unfortunate women 🙏🙌

[@Diffy112]

Sounds like he was a brutal psychopath

[@m.y.o.b.724]

There must've bee some very desperate and gullible women out there because he definitely wasn't a catch. It's a good thing he finally was convicted, or he would've just kept on going. This guy was ruthless and evil, a real life Bluebeard. As always, good to see you again, Harmin. Good job!

[@ivannovotny4552]

This is so bizarre, it's almost hard to believe it. Btw, nice to see you again Harmin. 🇨🇦

[@markysumm72]

Dude gets 55 women to marry him and I can't get a text back.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Dude for real.. crazy how many women would marry him within days or weeks of meeting him. 🤯

Your comment was funny and I sincerely hope you hear from that special lady v.soon..But would you really want to be like Johann.? Noo, just be content being Mark..Anyway, good luck to you..☮️😁

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

Right?! He looked like a troll. Wonder what drew so many women to him???

[@Diffy112]

@@jeremiahallyn4603 Since he was filthy rich from all the money he got from his victims, it would be a factor to how easy it was for him to marry that many women.

I cannot believe that after the first 10 women people didn't realize something was going on

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

You think people would have caught on but I think somehow by changing aliases all the time helped him escape each time.

[@aimeemoore1094]

I wish you would do a marathon that's how good you are and thank you for all you do always a great great job.

Hey Harmin! Looking forward to this one. I know this is a side gig for you so I always want to interact and hope it does some good. Hope you're well!!

Is that where the song comes from "John Jacob jingle heimer Schmidt"? I keep hearing it in my head as you list his names!

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Yes, I think you're right!! Oh my gosh.. I never thought about it till you mentioned it! Holy crap.. that makes so much sense

[@nancylovett2399]

Sweet! You rock Harmon! I absolutely love listening to your videos.

[@sandrahunter5749]

Hi Harmon from West Virginia 👋 I'm glad you have a new video out

[@marycaffrey8323]

This story could be a soap opera

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

100%. I'm surprised it hasn't been turned into some sort of show. Crazy for sure!!

[@chrissygreig2277]

Well done, very interesting and methodically told 😊

Welcome back harmen

Thank you so much!! So good to be back. I will be going on summer break from work so will be able to film so much more!

[@MGBABY6]

Ok thank u

[@jessiemerritt9147]

Wow I never heard of this one.. What an evil man. Glad his was finally caught after so many women. Makes you wonder how he got by with such evil for so long. R.I.P. to those poor women.

[@bonniekaye]

*What a vile, evil person!* Who knows, really, how many women were his victims?! You are right, he had to be some kind of charmer! Thank God he was eventually caught. *Thank you for your hard work on this case AND all of your other videos!* 🙂👍⚘️

[@jpatrick1246]

That’s crazy that he had that many to marry him.😳

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

It's so unbelievable that so many women would marry him within days or months of meeting him. You think his constantly changing of aliases would have caught up to him sooner

[@zenawarrior7442]

Wild story wow. Thanks for sharing, glad you're back! 😊💙👋

[@footballlvnlady]

Great to see you again Harmin! I don’t know what to think of this guy! I normally have a good memory but I think I got lost about wife #40. 😊 I would forget my name each week! Very sad all those women died! He got what he deserved but at the cost of so many lives. Crazy story!

His down stairs game must have been on point 😂😂

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

Something. Because he was not a looker, at all 😂

[@MarieWoodward-fs8pq]

Hi Harmin. Holy crap 💩 did this guy get around. I couldn't keep up with it all. Between him taking these poor womens money and them dying within weeks to months he didn't get caught. Try it in today's time and forget it. It did get funny tho. Thank you Harmin for sharing

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

It literally hurt my head trying to go through it all! I'm just as baffled as you are.

[@jeremybrowning6013]

Welcome back

[@Lizablue0608]

Hey you! Glad to see you again. This one’s more than twisted. It’s deeper than an abyss of weirdness. I can’t imagine how he was able to get this far. But then again, times were different. I’ve read about this before, but your way added to the “OMG” effect. R.I.P. to those poor women and their families. He had no soul, hopefully he packed enough sunscreen..🔥😈

Goes to prove how desperate women were for a husband

The pressures of society. They had money... $700 in 1895 woulda bought you home on 1400 acres.

Hey it's not taken down. Just had some things to deal with and then I was on vacation. New videos this coming week! Thanks for watching my channel

[@simmo2024]

Wow that's alot of ladies. I'm glad he was finally caught.

[@theresewebb229]

Did he have any children. Awesome video I enjoyed it.

[@sunshine3914]

Apparently all his relationships were short lived.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

I don't believe he had any children at least that we know of. He did marry several of the women who had kids already but again, those were so short lived, that it doesn't really count

[@meganelizabeth5201]

So glad to see you back lot of love to you and your family

It's crazy that he was able to get away with all that smh. The woman he just took the money from and left was lucky.

I'm so happy to see you back!!! Missed ya!! What an evil monster!!👹

What a dreamboat. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks Harmon! Never heard of this fool before!

[@SugLV75]

I listen to true crime and watch it All the time.. and I don’t Think I have ever heard this Crazy story !! Thank you for sharing…

[@bunnifer23]

I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this guy before! 🤯 I want to know what he did with all the money! $100 from 1900 is worth around $3,000 today. I didn’t add up everything he stole, but it was more than he needed to live on!

[@doyeworrell1680]

What a crazy story! It’s unbelievable he got away with his Con for so many years

[@missdaisy5736]

Omg-- John must have been a stud muffin!! The guy just had women falling at his feet (in more ways than one)!! he probably poisoned most of these women, if not all of them after he married them. And so many of the women disappeared? So John was very strong and knew how to get red his murdered victims.. this is a unbelievable story and even though it is horrific in nature, it is so ridiculous that there is some humor to it because it was so long ago. Anyway, the guy was put to death finally. It sounds like John could have murdered on and on for the rest of his life so he was a serial killer on course. And a lazy thief as well. Those poor women who thought they had finally found love, but instead were heading for death! It seems only fitting. John doesn’t have a headstone out there in the park, doesn’t it?

[@marinatedbeef1683]

So.., he basically lived off his wives. This is Crazy! Harmon , what a way to comeback to us, lol. How'd he just keep marrying and not being on any radar for these killing . It's so good to see u back with us 🤗

Hi Harmin 👋

[@DonTheGuitarGuy]

Insane, how did he get to marry these women so quick, and why did no family members hunt him down, I sure would. One never knows of the history and bones under our feet and in our neighbourhoods. May he be the wedding night bride of demons for eternity.Thank you for sharing this story, and all the time, research, travel and money it costs you to do so for us. A fan since day one. Cheers from Nova Scotia. Safe travels.
