In this episode you'll get to read about Texas Jim Baker: Texas Jim" Baker was a serial killer who used poison and pistols to murder nine men around the world between 1924 and 1929.
After he was captured in February 1930, for the 1928 murder of a New York City chemical laboratory employee, Baker bragged about these murders "with lip-smacking gusto" during several confessions to investigators and newspaper reporters.
He thrived on the attention he received and often embellished his life story and the murders by describing them with overtly gruesome details meant to shock his listeners into thinking he was a special kind of monster. By doing so, Baker also hoped to increase his celebrity criminal status and gain more attention for himself.
Several months after he was sentenced for one of his murders, International Features Syndicate paid him to write his autobiography. The story they published was filled with lies, half-truths, self-pity and Baker's trademark overstated joy he felt while poisoning his victims. Through my research of New York newspapers, and five true crime magazine articles published after his trial, I believe I have separated fact from fiction as well as anyone could.
