The Torso Murders of Kingsbury Run

Mazie Adams, Executive Director, Cleveland Police Museum

During the 1930s, Cleveland was a city on the rise. Manufacturing and the steel industry attracted a growing population of laborers, wealthy Clevelanders built mansions on Millionaire's Row and supported civic and educational institutions, and the Great Lakes Exposition and the Republican National Convention opened in 1936. Against this backdrop of community growth and excitement, one of the most prolific and gruesome serial killers brutally murdered and dismembered at least thirteen people. Mazie Adams, Executive Director of the Cleveland Police Museum, will explore the crimes as well as the local law enforcement's efforts to track down the killer and safeguard the city.
