Summary

This week, Iain dives into the case of Glennon Engleman – aka ‘The Hitman Dentist’. It’s 1958 in St Louis, Missouri, when Glennon finds himself drowning in debt. His solution? A murder-for-profit scheme that flies under the radar from police for more than two decades. Along the way, Glennon leaves a trail of destruction in his wake. That is until he makes a crucial error that leads investigators straight to his door.
