"He was found dead in his cell, allegedly from hanging himself"
Hey, I know this one! It's a classic.
I'll take Jeffrey Epstiene for 500 Alex
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
@@jmh8697 that we know of 🤔🤫
How has no one commented on your amazing name?!
@@litticus2771 Because no one wants to have a reply that says their dick is small.🤣 But i was given a laugh at the realization of said name too.
Moral of the story? Don't be a boy with a friend walking through Kingsbury Run, you gonna find a body or head or some mess!
I mean "Jackass Hill" was a warning, lol.
mc finn facts
The fact Sweeney allegedly said to Ness "Prove it" when challenged sounds like something from a police drama. Like he's rubbing his nose in the fact he knows Ness can't prove who he really is
Sweeney knew Ness couldn't prove it. Even today, the Sweeney family is a very big name in Cleveland. Politicians, judges. They would never let one of their own be accused, let alone be tried.
I've heard of at least one story where a suspect told the police to "Do your job and prove it then", but it turned out he wasn't the actual culprit. Unfortunately, antagonizing the police isn't evidence.
@@carolinet7021 no, not "evidence", but when you're cousin is a Congressman, you're family is one of the wealthiest, most well-connected families in the city, those words take on an entirely different meaning.
@@raecyrulik9359 yep democrat congressman i wonder if they are friends with the Clintons by chance.
William H There would be a comment like this.
I live outside of Cleveland and grew up on this. A truly disturbing amount of serial killers are from Ohio. Don’t forget, Dahmer is from the Cleveland area.
Im from Wisconsin sadly we got you beat there
Dahmer moved to Ohio in his mid teens. He went and graduated from my high school.
@@khg458 Jesus what do you and your peers think of it?
I'm not convinced this story contained one killer. I think it has at least two different killers in it.
@@michaelterrell5061 he was there well before my time came to go to highschool, but a family friend did go to school with him.
"The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run" is one of the few serial killer nicknames that don't seem to be overly dramatic. Which is shocking, because "The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run" is one of the most dramatic serial killer nicknames ever.
Are you high bro-
"This name doesn't seem very dramatic, which is odd, because it is very dramatic."
I'm going to need a runback on this particular thought here, bro.
Wut
@@SuperfieldCrUn Some say systematic.
It's Grease Lightning.
@@SuperfieldCrUn it's not OVERLY dramatic for what was found/methodology.
Think colonial Boston Massacre vs "A few people were shot after violence against military officers"
The Mad butcher of Kingsbury is a damn dramatic name, but it's really not overly dramatic or exaggerating
Clevelander here, we refer to this killer as the "Torso Murderer". The Torso Murderer also taunted the police by sending them postcards. I have two books to recommend, read Torso by Brian Micheal Bendis first. Then read In the Wake of the Butcher: Cleveland's Torso Murders by James Jessup Badal. When you finish the second book you'll understand why I suggested them in that order
THANKS!!! for those recommendations. will have to search for/purchase them. Born/raised in the Madison, OH, area. First heard about these murders sometime in the 1990s when my mother bought me a few books about Cleveland's history, and these murders were a part of those books.
@@jamesbednar8625 hey I'm right over in Perry haha
Cleveland here too
Is there anything that makes it clear those postcards were by the killer ?
Wow I did not know Bendis wrote more outside of well know comic book stories lmao
Twist: the killer was the two unidentified boys that kept finding bodies.
Was just thinking that-it’s always 2 boys that find bodies. 😂
Doug Roberts lol
SELF REPORT!
@@doopyshmoop7941 lmao
I think it was Elliott Ness
Whoa! The fact that the killer put two of the bodies in full view of Ness' office in city hall to taunt him wasn't mentioned! Pretty big detail to leave out.
The orange donut is slowly getting closer to Simon.
Allegedly.
It is sentient.
maby Simon works for the donut and it makes him do the show or else. scary.

why is this comment about simons orange donut light so relevant
Simon: "...called Jackass Hill."
Me: "What?"
I'm the butcher of kingsbury and welcome to jackass *executes two people*
@@roanoneill3937 the two people, bleeding out, say their final words. *"Jackass..."*
ikr
I wanna like your comment but it's well placed at 69...so not gonna disturb that😂
@@samarthnayak248 Not anymore. Oh well.
I'm now reminded of the time when Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara laughed because someone died at the base of Jackass Hill.
Me too.
I think I first got on to Biographics (and then the rest of the Whistler UA-cam Empire) after it was suggested following one of their Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime videos. It’s still my comfort/background watch choice. XD
I literally rewatched that vid last night
Can we really blame Ryan and Shane? Who names places like that? Honestly I had to go back when Simon said Jackass Hill, because I totally forgot that was the actual name. :,D
@@Fuchswinter i laughed both times
I always heard this one called The Cleveland Torso Murderer.
Cleveland seems to have a lot of serial killers.
Yes, it is called the Cleveland Torso Murderer, but this is Biographics, so Simon was doing a bio on the Mad Butcher or at least what can be speculate who he is. We do know he is long gone, dead somewhere in a cold ground.
Cleveland should be called cleaveland
I have a couple cereal killers at home.
Not to mention the three girls kidnapped and held for over a decade by Ariel Castro. Nice.
That's the best name they could come up with? It doesn't make any sense. He only murdered torsos, leaving the rest of the person alive. Admittedly it's more original than The Mad Butcher. Maybe he stopped killing because he was given such a lame name. Perhaps if we give all killers stupid names it would put them off doing it. The Fluffy Bunny Slipper Killer. The Diarrhea Eater. The Throws Like A Girl Murderer. The Wholly Unimaginative Slayer.
Simon... come on... “the police made no HEADWAY...”???
Said with a straight face ...🤦♂️
The Blaze is seeping in
All the ba-dum tsss are reserved only for business blaze

You could say, it went right over his head.
Simon should be on radio.. I could listen to his news
Only if it’s 50s style where he takes almost this long with this much detail to explain each thing that happened today in a small town and a bit of international stuff
Nope
@@someoneinyourchatfromdubli7258 lol I said I would listen to him lol
Pretty sure he has a podcast. 👍🏻
I would
As a Clevelander myself, I've gotta hand it to Simon for pronouncing Cuyahoga correctly. Well done!
Right! it shows true research was put into this one!
Yeah, ikr? Lol
This story would make a FANTASTIC film. Disembodied heads, mutilation, cops posing as homeless people and gay exhibitionists, hoping to be preyed upon by an unknown murderer on a mad spree, all culminating in a final act where a desperate police force torches all the homeless camps in a vein effort to find the killer, whom in another part of town is already stalking his next victim.
Also a false lead where a suspect gets his kicks watching prostitutes decapitate live chickens. C'mon man, this has "Hollywood" written all over it lol
I feel terrible, but everytime I hear about Ness just saying "Burn it all to the ground" I can't help but lol. Just goes to show you the frustration level.
DEX Wrecks this story should have been the sequel to the Untouchables, Dr Francis Sweeney would a joy to cast
I agree. I'm surprised no one has ever made a film about it
Aaron Keener
Agree 100%
Ehhh maybe if the case was actually solved
Ness was never going to get to Sweeney. To this day that family is very powerful in Cleveland with a long line of judges and politicians. The famous "law man" broke a LOT of laws and even if he'd gotten Sweeney to confess it would've been inadmissible. Not to mention, he didn't do all that much about organized crime in Cleveland. Up until the 1970s this town was run by mobsters and the gang wars had more car bombs in Cleveland than in Beirut at the time. Ness also turned into a raging alcoholic and there's a lovely beer that has his name from the Great Lakes Brewing Company. Ness thought he was tough because he broke Chicago but Cleveland ended up breaking Ness.
I fucking love cleveland
@@Scam_Likely. love "my town"! People don't realize how much the CLE has. Great food, world class orchestra & art museum. It's a wonderful city!

If I'm not filling my head with more and more knowledge, I almost get like....itchy. This was a very lovely comment, know you're not alone in that feeling.

This channel carries my quarantine
this charming brit and all his quality channels
*Lockdown. Quarentene is not for all the population for an unspecified amount of time. And this was never tried in our History and we have no rpoof it works. On the contrary, even WHO (after screwing up multiple times) is disavowing the Lockdowns (even a broken clock is right twice a day, eh?).
I'm not trying to be a d*ck here, I'm just saying this is not a quarentene. Working in the health field, it makes me mad that "the powers that be" (let's call them this way) don't use proper wording.
But I do agree that this guy has the power to relief boredom. He produces great content and has a beautiful voice.
Those dandelions were pretty random
He was talking about burning chemicals and what condition was one of the bodies left in? Burnt. What were those dandelions being? Burnt.
Thank you Simon. It's important to remember cases like this and to learn the breadth and depth of human depravity if for no other reason than to remain cautious in certain situations.
Beans 🫘
The truly cautious rarely become victims, so your point is spot on.
All those people who were never identified. Just think: we all have family and friends we lose contact with, and some we never find out what happened to them.
For some things best to never find out. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. With all my former family and friends I just assume they all died of covid and carry on. They probably assume the same.
that was so deep that you nearly drowned.
I had a cousin on the streets not far from this area. She was schizophrenic, nobody saw her or heard from her for several years. Her parents were both dead, so no reason to keep in touch. We were notified she froze to death, somehow they identified her and got in touch with my family. It could have easily gone the other way if it was this time period.
Don't forget this was during the upheaval of the Depression when lots of people became homeless drifters.
@@ella17734 they probably just meant the only people who they were in contact with were the parents. The cousin never tried and neither did they.
for anyone interested, Edward Andrassy's grave is located in the cemetary @ 44th and Clark, and his stone is easily found. It's kind of spooky and sad to visit the Butcher's first victim. It makes the story very real.
Thank you for this info!
Okay the masked joker and that creepy laugh freaked me out. I HATE clowns
Um, yeah bc they’re HORRIFYING! I’m a fellow sufferer of coulrophobia. Hey r u more scared of one type of scary-ass clown than another? Like I’m particularly afraid of the hobo clown (that handkerchief on a long stick thing? They stole children’s smiles & carry them in there. I know this. I FEEL this😬) ooo...and John Wayne Gacy’s clown “Pogo”! Terrifying. [violently shudders] 👀 ... I’m never gonna sleep now.
We just chase you to give you a hug. We laugh to make you laugh. Who wouldn't want to be woken up by a clown laughing in their face. Clown need love too.
the dude Nope! I hate u, dude. Sorry.😉
May I ask which feature of a clown triggers the panic? I am not coulrophobic, but curious what are the triggers for this phobia
@@reverendharrypowell2390 I have a guess on this. I think its the features being obscured partially, but also some clown makeup seems to slightly resemble a predatory animal which sets off a instinctual fear response. Or for some, perhaps a traumatic early life event involving a clown or someone in heavy face paint. Hope that helps 😊
Personally, I suspect that Sweeny was their man. His familial influence was all that really kept him from being pegged for sure.
The Sweenies have always been a bad bunch.
Who knew tom sweeny was a serial killer
The Sweeney name/family didn't save him.He just hid the proof and the prosecution couldn't go ahead on just hunches,suspicions and circumstantial evidence
I love the quick video to the 1st section, there is literally one centimetre of blood on the knife... lol
Looks like they stabbed a ketchup packet

This is my favorite unsolved crime and I dont think it gets enough attention. Thanks simon! Do you think you could cover the somerton man soon?
Francis Sweeney is guilty though. 🤔 It cannot be proven, and even if it could have been proven he wouldnt have been charged with the crimes because of his connections.
+ He confessed unofficially.
@@ilkkarautio2449 Sweeney never provided any evidence that indeed he was the killer, and his numerous psychological issues doesn't make him a reliable source. Everything he "confessed" should be taken with a grain of salt, the guy was a degenerative alcoholic who was on a psychological downward spiral. Ness was so obsessed with solving the case and salvaging his career that he focused solely on Sweeney, which was a huge mistake on his part.
@@jonathanturbide2232 Ness had somewhat of a tunnel vision, thats true. But i really believe that he was right.
@@ilkkarautio2449 I've read some sources that theorize a couple of those murders may have just been a copy-cat passing off his victims as just more on the pile of bodies.
at a time without TV and Internet, the Worlds Fair move was a brilliant idea.
As an avid learner I appreciate all the detail utilized within your videos. I love your work. Keep it up!!!
Yesss, thanks very much Biographics team!! The Torso murders are such a grim & fascinating mystery, but not super well-known even here in Ohio.
PLEASE....do the Borgia dynasty!!!!
Cesare and Lucretia especially
Yes please!!!!!!
The pope's family?
@@88mphDrBrown - Bingo!
I have no doubt in my mind that we’d get a ‘“legendary” episode if you trace Rodrigo/Alexander VI’s life and ascension......including the impact Cesare, Juan, Lucretia (and the others) had on the church, art, politics, etc.
The sound design on these videos is amazing. Just the right amount of unease, and heck you for putting the loud creaking noise I almost dropped my coffee thinking it was my floorboards creaking

The B&O Railroad had a direct line that ran twice a day between Cleveland and New Castle, reinforcing Cleveland Detective Peter Merylo's belief that the murders in the two cities were connected.
Thank You Simon for that great video. I live in the U.S. and have never heard of this case. I'm sure the killer had to have some sense of anatomy, though you could just buy a book on the subject. I don't think serials actually would take the time to do such a thing. No, I believe he or she knew about anatomy by learning and doing such as surgeries on cadavers. To think the first victims found were the killers first attempts at cutting up a corpse is ridiculous. It makes me wonder why police refused to believe these murders were done by one individual? Its not like this would of been the first case of its kind. If they informed the public earlier, maybe some of the murders could of been avoided. Hum, many more questions, so few answers. Anyway, thank you Simon for shedding some light on an old unsolved murder case, well done.
❤Arlene
I'm not sure cutting off the head, arms, and legs, takes any great amount of knowledge. Steely nerves perhaps, but not any special knowledge of anatomy. I'm not trying to be cute, I'm just saying...
The real mystery of this case, is where the killer dismembered his victims. It's doubtful he just did it in a field some place under cover of darkness, though that's not impossible. At home in a bathtub? In one of the box cars of the trains always nearby to where the victims were found? One modern theory is that he operated out of one of the abandoned breweries in the area, a place I don't think investigators at the time even considered.
My dream is to have my own biographic and Simon narrates it
Same.... wait a minute
You just need an axe, go fulfill your dreams.
Or Count Dankula's Mad Lads lmao
Well, then you better get to work. People won't kill themselves, now will they?

Hi Simon, Biographics was the best thing I ever discovered on UA-cam! You’re incredible, please could you consider doing one on Jesse James or bloody bill anderson? I kno you’ve done butch Cassidy and other outlaws on here and Jesse James was one of the most famous and betrayed by a young fan who brought him in by the name of bob ford as u already know, bloody bill Anderson would be very good too just like any confederate mad man !

"Jackass hill"
Kings Run & Jackass Hill- I thought I had been everywhere in Cleveland over the past 50 years but I've never heard of either of these places before. Did they get erased by the freeway system or what?
OK I Googled Kingsbury Run and it turns out I have been there a few times. Never heard that name until a few minutes ago.
I would have become a town planner if I'm allowed to name stuff in the area. I'd kill for a "jackass hill" in my area 😭
Ikr
Iost my head on Jackass hill.
What the heck is wrong with Cleveland? So many serial killers from that area! The water??
Another reason why it’s called “The Mistake By The Lake.”
Didn’t the river light on fire once
Not much else to do in Cleveland.
lake erie thats what
Trevor Dillon, yes. You should watch the Cleveland Tourism Videos for more information.
Loved the story. The way it was presented and the production of it. All around a great watch.
Highly recommended
They should do that ancestry DNA and try to find out who those victims are. I mean, if they have DNA to get a profile from.
I know this is a bit old, but I SERIOUSLY doubt they have DNA. They didn't even think about gathering it until the 80's. I'm pretty sure there's nothing left of the bodies by this point.

It’s embarrassing that I’ve been a Cleveland native for nearly 40 years and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this.
you can see the death masks and the postcards at the western reserve historical museum
It is embarrassing. Oh well, it is what it is! 😆
The sound effects in the background are a great and eerie touch.
Thank you teaching me something morbidly new about my city. I always enjoy learning about Cleveland's dark past.
Hey, what a serendipitous surprise, I was just listening to a podcast on this last night! I'm from Cleveland. I always felt this case needed a lot more press. Big city, 1930s, twisted killer, famous crime fighter. I'm shocked not as many people talk about this case. Not to sound morbid, but I became fascinated with this case when I was 11, and checked books out on it and would do a little sleuthing in my own right.
A man after my own heart. I've been following this case since I was eight!
A long time back, I recall one writer speculating on a connection to Elizabeth Short’s murder 9 years after the last body was found in Cleveland. Seems unlikely, given that all the bodies in Cleveland are found headless and decapitation was about the only indignity Elizabeth Short was spared. But it does provide a stepping stone through several dismemberment murders of mid-20th century America and makes for an intriguing read.
I also read of that but it does seem far fetched as it doesn’t have any similarities with the cases of the Cleveland Torso Murders.
The PC game The Black Dahlia, does this connection. Tough the game is only very loosly inspired by these murders, the intro is the Boys finding the body on the bank in Cleveland And the name of the game is the nickname of Elisabeth Short. It's an old game now, but I remember how thrilling it was playing it then 🙂
Well, actually, the last murder attributed to The Butcher occured in 1950... At least the local newspapers thought so. Whether or not it was true is debatable.
I have been watching your videos non stop for a few days. I have to admit I'm hooked. Such informative topics. I'm sure to become one of your number one fans. Thank you for making these videos.
Hello from Cleveland! Love all your channels.
hey I remember this case from Unsolved! Thanks Simon
This is such a gruesome story. I've always thought it would be frightening to find these artifacts.
Cool topic. Great format. Great explanations of the current situation as context.
15:25 : The moment Simon ripped a mad killer fart while talking about the mad butcher.
Cleveland has a lot of contenders for "most notorious killer"....🤔
Yeah Cleveland and California seem to have to absolute most serial killers
I'd say pollution or alcoholism
Guy Narrating Video: “Two boys.”
Shows picture of a boy and girl.
Well done.
drinking/smoking game: simon just uses stock images to make the video more engaging. most people who watch his channels are used to these kinds of little inconsistencies but i also usually do other stuff while listening to these lol. **take a shot/hit whenever the picture is a loosely related stock picture**
The random cutaways are a nice addition to your videos.
Your channel is very soothing sir. Never have I been so calm while someone spoke of such heinous actions..
Oh and the original death mask of the tattooed man and reconstruction of the other victims, along with various original documents can all be seen at the 1st District/police headquarters at the Justice Center in downtown Cleveland. It's fascinating. I've seen it several times. Yes, I'm a lifelong, born & bred Clevelander. I love MY TOWN (other Clevelanders will surely get that reference).
I thought the 1st District was the far west side, with their station over there on West 130th. Did something change since I moved away ten years ago?
Learnt more from you then my history teacher in school ❤️ lots of love from india
I've been patiently waiting for a casual criminalist video on this
Great video!!! I’m from New Castle PA and it’s crazy that it might have a connection with such a famous serial killer
I'm from Cleveland and this case has intrigued me for years. Some say the Torso Killer might have killed the Black Dahlia as well as the victims in New Castle, PA but, that's just a theory.
Little ashamed, born and raised here and never heard of the story. Thank you for the story, horrific tale but I'm a sucker for history. Thanks for letting me know some of my home city's dark past.
Dude, you should be ashamed. Next you'll be saying you never heard of Captain Penny. Yikes! 🤣
That was scary enough to scare me but pretty good so that I cannot take my eyes off of the screen. Good job!
Binging true crime videos is not helping my anxiety but I can’t stop!

Thank you .
This seems very solveable, and is loaded with clues imo. Really enjoy how you present your work, very well done ty.
There's no files or information left. It was all destroyed or removed
Serial murderers have fascinated me since college days. I'm a writer, so I snarkily call it research and development, though it more likely fits with my psychological studies. I don't recall ever hearing this much about the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run, so thank you for helping me learn about him.
My name is Simon Whistler, and this is Jackass.
... Hill.
You need your on television program. I would tune into you daily..You're articulated, knowledged, well prepared and and you grabbed my attention in 1 min! Much success to you.
I did enjoy that video and I would very much enjoy a series on "unknown" serial killers. Maybe ones that aren't quite so well known or high profile.
Naked bodies, mutilated, drained of blood, brought to the rest place...
Black Dahlia... 😳
The same guy or just pretending to be him...
Terrifying.
I was thinking the same thing.
Different people
Different people.
Different people, the killer of Dahlia was actually someone who knew her. Probably that doctor guy that hanged out with her and left to Philippines after he killed her.

Crazy my children love playing in big creek parkway as did I when I was small never knew

Yay! As a Clevelander, I'm so excited that you covered this! 😃 Thanks Simon! 💙
🎉hooray🎉
I'm psyched that you did this one. Good job on pronouncing Cuyahoga.
Francis Sweeney was 100% the killer. Sad how he was never brought to justice.
My opinion is yes, I believe Sweeney was the butcher. Always wonder why he stopped, and I believe because Ness and the police were on to him so that’s why Sweeney stopped, or why the butcher stopped!! Obviously jail, he died or moved! But I think they were in to him and suspected him so therefore he stopped!
@@tysonthomas6029 He had to stop because he knew if he killed 1 or 2 more Victims he’d be caught for sure….He was being heavily watched and surveyed by multiple people. He probably got his rocks off and quenched his urges by taking out his urges on animals or going hunting, etc… sadly 😞
@@tysonthomas6029 Sweeney was committed to a hospital shortly after being interoggated, where he would remain (in a hospital, not any specific one) for the rest of his life.
@@ReverendLeRoux I believe the hospital you're talking about was in Sandusky, and Sweeney could come and go as he pleased. The detective who worked the longest on the case never believed Sweeney was the guy. Neither do I. I think Sweeney was a head case who got a great deal of joy out of toying with Ness. Nor does Sweeney fit the profile of what we know today to be the characteristics of most serial killers. I wish it was Sweeney. At least then I wouldn't have the sick feeling the butcher got away with his murderous spree.
Fact is that Ness and his team were sure that Sweeney was the murderer for some good reasons, but without enough evidence cause he got a free jail card cause of his cousin congressman. Still after he got locked into a psychiatry the murders stopped instantly. So politics just destroyed Ness' career and life while he most likely solved the case.
Your accent and delivery is top notch. I could listen to this kind of stuff all day. 👍
I’m a Clevelander and a fan. You nailed this episode! Thanks!
Eliot Ness's "other duties": Doing his best to prevent American citizens from having any fun at all, boozy or otherwise.
I imagine it's hard to tell fact from fiction with this suggestion, but I would like to see King David.
There's so little evidence that Simon would basically just end up reading the bible.
You have to remember that we can't even prove that Israel was anything but a bronze age tribal village at the time.
The only biblical characters we actually know existed were Jesus of Nazareth (Yeshua) and Paul of Tarsus
Simon, thank you :)
Another great video. Never heard of these killings before. This could be a movie or mini series.
Allegedly '80s band called "Destruction" revived the memory of him as well..
I was told that my great great aunt found the body in Lake Erie. She never recovered from the trauma of finding that and became an alcoholic.
I don’t know what is your voice but it is unique and never gets boring
How have I not heard of this case before? Like most of you I watch endless documentaries on serial killers and shocking crimes but this completely escaped me. How has this not become a movie?
