H. H Holmes murder



It has been said that he appeared to be unusually intelligent at an early age. He practiced surgery on animals. He was a medical student at University of Michigan.


His castle


H.H. Holmes was a killer who was very smart about it. He built castle and he never let anyone see the blueprints. He had constructions workers build a little bit then he would fire them so they wouldn't know how it was laid out but he would say they did a bad job and he never paid anyone. Holmes had a three-story building constructed, creating an elaborate house of horrors. The upper floors contained his living quarters and many small rooms where he tortured and killed his victims. Some of these rooms had gas jets so that Holmes could asphyxiate his victims.

Victims


Most of his victims were women who he seduced then tortured. He got engaged a lot and his fiancée would suddenly disappear. So most people think he killed them. Other victims were lured there.



Kids


Holmes brought fellow inmate Marion Hedgepeth—who knew Holmes as H.M. Howard—in on the life insurance scheme with Pitezel. When Holmes didn't share the money with Hedgepeth's Hedgepeth tipped off the police. when they eventually identified Howard as Holmes, the police did not catch on to Holmes soon enough to stop his. He killed Pitezel and then convinced Pitezel’s widow that her husband was still alive. Becoming concerned that the five Pitezel children might expose him, he went away with three of the children, eventually killing them.
