Famous Serial Killer with Ties to Dallas
Who is this Herman Mudgett/H.H. Holmes character? How is he luring young women all the way from Dallas in 1893? It was not exactly a quick and easy trek to Chicago at the time.
Mudgett was a charming and good-looking quick talker who had gone to medical school. He appeared prosperous, running a pharmacy in Chicago while building a hotel to accommodate folks arriving for the World’s Fair.
But appearances are not as they seem. Mudgett has a very dark side and dangerous ways of making money.
