Episode description

Welcome to our first two part episode. After researching this case, we decided we needed to spread this over two episodes due to the shear amount of detail and murders by this man in the early 1900's. Feel free to revisit next week to listen back to back although we will be doing a recap at the beginning of next weeks episode to refresh your mind on what was said this week.

Fritz Haarmann murdered at least 24 young men and boys over the course of six years between 1918-1924. He raped, murdered and dismembered each victim before dumping their bodies mainly in the Leine River, Hanover, Germany. He is arguably one of Germany's worst serial murderers. Join us as we look over his life and the subsequent murders that follow.
