Ever wonder what evil lurks in your hometown? Spine-Chilling Murders in Iowa takes you behind the scenes of some old-time killings in Iowa. Nettie Schwab married Jerome Hoot in Kansas City in 1899. When she woke up on the second day of her honeymoon, she found him bending over her, holding a handkerchief laced with chloroform close to her face. Another time, Hoot tried to drug her with a tablet, but she spit it out when he wasn’t watching. Not long after that, she received an infernal machine in the mail. The Saturday Night Murderer butchered eight people overnight in the sleepy little town of Villisca in June 1912. Investigators believed the killer rode the rails into town, then once his bloody work was done, hopped back on the train. “Tonight, I’m going to hold up the Handy Store,” bragged Floyd Sheets. “If there is any resistance, someone is going to be filled with lead. So, watch tomorrow evening’s papers if you think I’m kidding.” Sure enough, he killed the owner’s son at the Davenport, Iowa grocery store. No one was particularly surprised when they learned Earl Throst killed schoolmarm Inga Magnusson near Dorchester, Iowa, in 1921. When captured, Throst told detectives he planned to marry Magnusson the following week even though she was engaged to another man. Myrtle Cook’s death contained all the elements of a good murder mystery—rum runners, and an estranged husband who fumbled some of the details of his alibi. Cook, age 51, was shot to death in her Vinton, Iowa home on September 7, 1925. Read them if you dare!

Ever wonder what evil lurks in your hometown? Spine-Chilling Murders in the Chicago takes you behind the scenes of some old-time killings in Chicago. Nineteen-year-old Amelia Olesen was outraged, strangled, and dragged across the prairie in Northwest Chicago. Rumors spread through the city, that she was drugged and hauled away by a group of young men, or that a married neighbor stalked and murdered her. The primary suspect, Tom Shehan, had an airtight alibi, but police held him for over a month hoping for a break in the case. The Lady’s Murder Club consisted of six women incarcerated in the Cook County Jail. They all had one thing in common. They murdered their husband, lover, or some other close relative and were set free because no jury would convict a woman for committing a capital crime. The club members included Rene Morrow, Louise Vermilya, Sadie Blaha, Jane Quinn, Lena Musso, and Florence Bernstein. Detectives believed Augusta Dietz waited until her husband, George Dietz, fell asleep, then crept into his bedroom and bashed his head in with a hammer. Afterward, she planted a false trail of evidence, placing a note from the killer under the hammer where the police could not help but find it. Chicago serial killer Henry Spencer took credit for killing twenty-nine people (mostly women) during his twenty-year run. He bragged to detectives he bagged twelve of them in as many months after being released from the Joliet Prison in 1912. The so-called “Man-Girl Murderer” was one of the most baffling cases to confront the Chicago Police Department in the 1920s. Mrs. Richard Tesmer told detectives Freddy Frances was the “girl bandit” she saw murder her husband, but when officers caught up with her, they discovered Freddy was a man in woman’s clothes. Add to that, he had a husband and a wife, and things got confused. Someone bludgeoned twenty-year-old Theresa Hollander to death in the St. Nicholas Cemetery in Aurora, Illinois, in 1914. The police quickly focused their attention on a former suitor, Anthony Petras, but a jury failed to convict him after two trials. William Bartholin killed his mother and fiancé, Minnie Mitchell, in what came to be known as the Calumet Avenue Death House. Several months and suspects later, Bartholin’s body turned up in a field in Riceville, Iowa. Detectives found a suicide note that cleared the other suspects yet refused to release them pending the decision of the grand jury. Six-year-old Paul Paszkowski disappeared from his home in 1903. A week later, his body was discovered buried in a gunny sack in a shallow grave. Suspicion immediately fell on eleven-year-old Julius Wiltrax. After being interrogated for a week, he blamed his parents, John, and Elizabeth Wiltrax. Actress Margaret Leslie was found dead in room 420 at the Palace Hotel in Chicago on October 18, 1906. Suspicion quickly fell on a one-legged theatrical producer, Howard Nicholas. He broke after a week of extreme “sweating” and gave police a 24-page confession implicating his partner, Leonard Leopold. Nicholas later recanted his confession, saying Assistant Chief Herman Schuettler hypnotized him into making it. Read them if you dare!

Ever wonder what evil lurks in your hometown? Spine-Chilling Murders in the Northeast takes you behind the scenes of some old-time killings in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and more. Joseph Elwell, the Whist Wizard of Manhattan, was shot to death in his home overnight on June 11, 1920. Roy Harris, an aspiring novelist, confessed to the crime, but it soon turned out to be nothing more than a publicity stunt to help sell his new book. Louise Lawson led a double life. The folks back home in Walnut Springs, Texas, knew her as a shy young girl aspiring to a big-time musical career. Her friends in New York knew her as a Broadway Butterfly, one of those kept girls who lived in a fancy apartment. When she was found dead in 1918, it turned out she was the victim of a gang that targeted the working girls of New York. Marie Williams (aka Boots) was the prettiest girl ever arrested in West Virginia. She told police that she, and her boyfriend, Peter Treadwell, were in the room when Henry Pierce was murdered, but they did not have anything to do with the crime. The police wanted to believe her, but... When nineteen-year-old Avis Linnell turned up dead at the Y. M. C. A. in Boston, suspicion quickly fell on her fiance, Reverend Clarence V. T. Richeson. The Boston Globe said Richeson had a "soft" and "musical" voice, almost too much for a girl to resist. It didn't help the Reverend any that he was carrying on with Avis, while he announced his upcoming marriage to wealthy Boston socialite, Violet Edmands. Pretty Josephine Amore killed her neighbor/lover Michael Martelle in Newark, New Jersey, in August 1908. Martelle kissed her and threatened to harm her family unless she ran away with him. "I got me a great big gun," said Josephine, "and killed him." Detectives didn't believe her for a minute. They were convinced her husband, Carmine Amore, was the killer, but could never quite pin the killing on him. Alfred Morrison shot his wife in his sleep and told police he didn't know anything about it. He was lost in a dreamlike state much like Walter Mitty. The newspapers quickly labeled him the Mount Vernon Dream Killer. Hans Schmidt, a New York Priest, became known as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Killer after he murdered Anna Aumuller and scattered her dismembered remains in the North River. He told detectives he tasted her blood first, then when she was dead dragged her body into the bathroom and carved it up. George White, a man of color, was arrested for sexually assaulting and murdering seventeen-year-old Helen S. Bishop in Wilmington Delaware in June 1903. A mob broke him out of the Castle County Work House as guards stood by and did nothing to stop them. White was dragged out into the woods and burned alive. All he could say in his defense was, "You would not have done this if I was a white man." Read them if you dare!

Spine-Chilling Murders in Illinois is a collection of true-life stories, most of which were rescued from old newspaper accounts published over 100 years ago. Few events in this book have made it into print, except maybe in musky-old county histories. Even then, they are lucky to rate a paragraph. Burglars killed Chicago millionaire Amos Snell during a home invasion in 1888. The investigation took detectives on a winding course across the country, but the killer was never found. Finally, twenty-five years later, a deathbed confession showed the police had the killer in their hands just days after the murder. But unfortunately, they let him go due to a lack of evidence. H. H. Holmes murdered as many twenty-seven people during his fifteen-year crime spree. Holmes's base of operations was his murder castle in Elgin, Illinois. Most of his victims died so Holmes could collect the insurance policies he took on their lives. The others were sold to body snatchers for $25 to $55 per head. The car barn bandits were every Chicagoan's worst nightmare-four bored boys, armed and out for thrills, let the consequences be damned. They killed eight men in less than a year and injured almost a dozen more. After Gustave Marx's capture, the gang leader told reporters: "There are too damn many people walking around town. They ought to be glad to be put out of their misery." Johann Hoch, the Chicago Bluebeard, married as many as fifty women in the ten years between 1895 and 1905. Most times, he took their money and disappeared. Unfortunately, at least nine of Hoch's wives died shortly after marrying him. Later, when asked what all his wives died from, Hoch chuckled and said, "kidney problems, I suppose. "Ask the doctors. They know better than I do." The Cambridge Curse defied explanation. During the three years between 1905 and 1908, Henry County experienced ten murders, five suicides, two attempted suicides, and a bank robbery. The statistics were totally out of whack for a community of 1500. Chicago Tribune crime reporter Jake Lingle was gunned down in cold blood in a city subway station on June 9, 1930. At first, the city mourned his passing as a martyr in the fight against crime. But, before the month was out, evidence surfaced that Lingle was in deep with the city's mobsters. He was a personal friend of Al Capone and worked as a go-between for the gangsters and police. Of course, there's more, but you get the idea. Illinois was a dangerous place at the turn of the century. Read them if you dare.

One hundred years ago Villisca, Iowa made the national spotlight when eight people were butchered in their sleep. Attention quickly turned to the Reverend Lyn Kelley, ""a queer, strange, little preacher man,"" often accused of window peeping. Kelley said he was walking by the Moore house when a voice commanded him to, ""Go in. Slay utterly."" What could he do? He climbed the stairs and slaughtered the children. ""Slay utterly. Suffer the little children."" Back downstairs, he went into the parent's bedroom. ""More work yet. There must be sacrifices of blood."" Again, the ax did its work. In another downstairs bedroom, he discovered the Stillinger girls, asleep in their beds. ""More work still."" The ax resumed its work. Eight people were dead. The ax was satisfied. When Kelley recanted his confession, detectives developed dozens of other suspects, but none of them panned out. The Villisca Ax Murders remain Iowa's most famous cold-case file.

Nestled at the very end of a serene street in the charming town of Villisca, Iowa, stands a captivating sight - an enchanting old white frame house, just across the street from a cluster of churches sits a park that looks out over a middle school. Although it stands deserted, the ancient white house resembles many of the others in the neighborhood. No sound or light comes from the house, and when you look closely, you see that the doors are boarded up. Outside, a little sign says, "Villisca Axe Murder House." On June 10, 1912, Joe and Sarah Moore were sleeping on the upper floor, while their four kids were asleep in a room located further down the corridor. On the first floor, there were two girls, the Stillinger sisters, who had arrived for a sleepover and were staying in a guest room. That night, a mysterious killer broke into the hose and bludgeoned Josiah Moore's family and two overnight visitors to death with an axe, shattering the tranquility of Villisca, Iowa forever altering its fate. How could a person unfamiliar with Villisca accurately find Joe and Sarah Moore's bedroom using only dim lighting, while initially ignoring the children's rooms until the adults were killed? For more than a century, authorities struggled to make sense of what is now known as the infamous Villisca Axe Murders. Even after all these times has passed, the walls of the Moores house still contain the killer's identity and a number of supernatural beings... Brace yourself for a spine-tingling journey into the unknown as we delve into the enigmatic details of this perplexing and gruesome tragedy.
