This is frustrating. They show a few short minutes, then it cuts off, and there's no link to where the episode can be watched (I tried the link in the description and it didn't work. I searched the smithsonian website and couldn't find it), it doesn't say what season and episode number it is, or what the actual title of the episode is.

It's a shame the fire didn't PERMANENTLY wipe it out.

They didn't even mention Holmes real name, which is Herman Webster mudgett.

2:53 Rothschild owned a building, wonder what that building is now. Anyone know??? 🙏🙏🙏Wow it was back in 1877, that family has been around for a long time. The old man today wasn't even born yet.

Just saying but this might sound interesting to some people and that thing is my Paternal grandmothers moms Great Aunt Was at the worlds Colombian Exposition and Serial Killer H H Holmes was at the fair with two of his victims and just saying but I proof that my Paternal grandmothers moms great aunt was there and the proof is that while there she got a teacup and the teacup had her name on it and her name was Maggie Deaner and I am sorry for not putting in any punctuation.
