🔒 The Murder of Emmett Till
11/18/21 • 53 min
When I think of the men and women who spurred on the civil rights movement, I don’t always go right to Martin Luther King jr or Rosa Parks. A lot of times I think of a 14-year-old kid, who had his entire life ahead of him, but instead of getting to live that precious life, his life was taken from him. And he unintentionally became one of the most famous names synonymous with the civil rights movement. I am speaking of course about Emmett Till and how this young boy became a catalyst for change. I’m John Dodson, welcome to The Secret Sits.

🔒 The Green River Killer
Today we are going to talk about the most prolific serial killer ever in the United States of America. Some of this story will be explicit, so listener discretion is advised. We are taught to read clues all around us, to keep ourselves safe from people who would do us harm. Well, what happens when the person who wants to kill you, removes those clues and lulls you into a false sense of security? This is exactly what happened to almost 6 dozen women, when they met The Green River Killer. I’m John Dodson, this is The Secret Sits.

🔒 H. H. Holmes
If you are ever in Philadelphia, perhaps you could attempt to find 1316 Callowhill St., this use to be the address of a patent office, owned by H.H. Holmes and his partner Ben Pitezel, the elusive address is now a parking lot which stretches the length of an entire city block. Just across the road stands the North American Building, but there use to be a station servicing the Philadelphia and Reading Railroads.
Just down the road is the building which holds The Philadelphia Inquirer, the very paper which covered all of the salacious news stories during the time of H.H. Holmes.
This is an odd piece of a neighborhood now, filled mostly with abandoned buildings, an area tucked between Chinatown and the poverty-stricken portion of North Philadelphia. But when H.H. Holmes wandered these streets, the city was very different.
