This is Part 1 of a very in-depth tale that is dark and twisted. (You can't say we didn't warn you!)
When pieces of a lady washed ashore along the banks of the Hudson River in 1913, investigators had no idea just what a nightmare had been unearthed. The whole thing really began across the ocean decades earlier and now it was there at their feet in New Jersey and, ultimately, New York City.
In this episode you'll hear about the gruesome discovery of the few body parts that were recovered, the investigation that led the detectives to their man, and Hans's life after arriving in the United States in 1909.
