HH Holmes confessed to 27 murders after his arrest in the final years of the 19th century and most of the missing persons associated with his case have never been found and their crime remain unsolved.Herman Mudgett grew from a young New Hampshire boy with a fascination with dead bodies to a grim hotel owner where a seris of trap doors and torture devices helped in the early expiration of his victims. A travelling salesman and confidence manipulating conman, he married many times and made his bones on insurance scams in the late 1800s.
