Holmes took 3 of the kids from the Pietzels and killed them. Holmes was caught in Boston and tried in Philidephia for the murder of Pieztel and was convicted and was hung after that. The movie is well narrated and the experts who speak are well versed in the criminal mind and sound like they did there research the editing and the effects of the movie were very primitive looks like it was done with film and not digitally done. most of the film besides the witnesses were drawings, sets or pictures...
