It featured secret passageways and doors leading to nowhere and it's more than 100 rooms served as lodging, business spaces, and retail, but its basement however was reserved for the murder of up to 200 unfortunate souls.

The three story building’s owner didn’t do it for the thrill, or the process, of the killing, nor for some sick need to possess the body, or product, of his evil actions. Instead it’s proprietor did it for one of the oldest and most pervasive reasons in human history, money. The almighty dollar.

Host JD Horror is joined by author and filmmaker John Borowski to tell the tale of one of the first and most notorious American serial killers of all time.
