Johann Otto Hoch was a notorious serial killer and bigamist who operated in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Germany, Hoch preyed on wealthy women by marrying them, quickly poisoning them, and stealing their money. He is believed to have killed up to 15 wives, moving frequently under different aliases to avoid detection. His typical method involved taking out life insurance policies on his victims before murdering them. After years of evading capture, Hoch was arrested in 1905, convicted of one murder, and executed later that year. Known as one of America’s most infamous early serial killers, Hoch’s crimes shocked the nation and highlighted the dangers of trust in personal relationships.
