Johann Otto Hoch
Manage episode 444465076 series 3566890
We are diving into the life of Johann Otto Hoch. He wasn’t just a killer—he was a master manipulator who seduced, married, and ultimately betrayed dozens of women. Posing as a charming bachelor, Hoch used his charm to gain trust, only to rob his victims of their wealth, and in some cases, their lives.
Hoch's spree of bigamy, fraud, and murder earned him the title of a modern-day "Bluebeard." We'll explore the rise and fall of this con artist-turned-serial killer, how he evaded capture for years, and the trail of broken hearts and stolen fortunes he left in his wake.
