Housewives of Horror Part 2: Vampire of Dusseldorf
Late in the Summer of 1929, investigators in Cologne, Germany were dealing with a mass murderer that the national and international press had dubbed “The Vampire of Dusseldorf.” At the time, they believed it was possible they were looking for more than one killer, as the victims were very diverse and each was killed with different methods. Their suspect pool was huge, with 900,000 names. They had received more than 13,000 tip letters from the public and 2650 other clues. They interviewed 9000 people, and were obviously having trouble narrowing down their persons of interest.
