The True Story of The Bluebeard Killer
Harry Powers lied to lonely women during one of the hardest times in American history and turned it into a full-blown system. While people were standing in breadlines and trying to keep their families fed, he was writing letters. Not looking for love—looking for leverage.
He promised wealth, mansions, and stability. What he actually had was a garage behind his wife’s grocery store and a growing list of people who vanished after meeting him.
This episode unpacks the story of Harry Powers, the so-called Bluebeard Killer. We’ll trace how he exploited grief and desperation, how the trail finally caught up with him, and why he’s remembered as one of the most manipulative killers of his time. He thought he had it all figured out. Until he didn’t.
