In 1916, the US executed Hans Schmidt at Sing Sing prison. Schmidt is the first, and so far only, Catholic priest to be executed in the United States. His conviction was for the murder of a woman he had been secretly in a relationship with, but many believe this wasn’t his first murder. Or even his second. Further investigation showed he had even more murders planned. A very special thanks to Lanie from True Crime Fan Club and The Bodarks! thebodarks.com Today's sponsor is Sugar Bear Hair.
