Murder Monday: The Fort Worth Murder Castle

Today on Murder Monday, we dive into the almost Fort Worth Murder Castle. Ever hear about America’s first serial killer? In 1892, Dr. Henry Howard Holmes built a hotel in Chicago near the World’s Fair of 1893. Actually, the hotel was a labyrinthine “murder castle” of sixty rooms, where the doctor was suspected of killing as many as twenty-seven.In 1893, Holmes began a romantic relationship with Minnie Williams of Fort Worth. Minnie and her sister had an inheritance of land on Commerce Street in downtown Fort Worth. Holmes planned another hotel for the booming frontier town — this one was adjacent to the opera house, one block from the Natatorium, livery stables, theaters, and restaurants.Support The Show:Send us a donation: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tcnsOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimeneversleepspodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/truecrimens
