KILLED MANY WOMEN Hanged for Tango Murder in Chicago Suburb
Henry Spencer the so called tango murderer was hanged for killing Mrs Milfred Rexroat at a dance hall. Investigators believed his story was eighty percent true as he confessed to killing numerous women across Chicago suburbs. He boasted of a Jekyll and Hyde persona, recounting murders and offering odd justifications while attending church and working as a clerk. He lured victims with tango lessons and money, then killed them with a hammer and disposed of bodies along tracks and in waterways. Police linked his claims to a broader list of murders, though many details remained unverified.
