Episode 4: Minnie Wallace (1869-1957)
Minnie Wallace probably murdered her husband a month after their 1885 wedding. But you know, when you’re a 48 year old man and ask a 15 year old girl to marry you, and then she poisons you and takes your money… Well, them’s the breaks, mac. And when Minnie’s second elderly husband also died right after the wedding and the money came to her…. well, she couldn’t help it if she was lucky!
Episode 3: Minnie Williams, 1895
Just as HH Holmes was being accused of murdering Minnie Williams, another Minnie Williams was killed in one of San Francisco’s most celebrated – and misunderstood – cases.
Episode 2: Minnie Williams, 1893
Episode 2 covers the most puzzling of all HH Holmes victims. Could she have been complicit in his crimes? Did she think she was just using Holmes to relaunch her theatrical career?
More data and photos on Minnie will be posted 9/15/21 on the adamchicago Patreon in the Deep Research tier. For a ton more, see the book HH Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil.
Episode 1: Minnie Chergwin, 1882
