This first season of Tenfold More Wicked is the real-life saga of America’s most intelligent killer, Edward Rulloff, a brilliant academic in Gilded Age New York City who murdered members of his own family in 1845. He escaped from prison and, while on the run for 30 years, he recruited a cabal of young men to whom he taught philosophy and languages by day and who robbed silk merchants at night. When Rulloff was caught and was sentenced to death, why did some of Manhattan’s elite citizens, Mark Twain, come to his defense?Written, researched, and hosted by Kate Winkler Dawson / producers Jason Wehling and Laura Sobel / sound designer Eric Friend / composer Curtis HeathSubscribe to my newsletter: tenfoldmorewicked.com Buy my books: katewinklerdawson.comIf you have suggestions for historical crimes that could use some attention, email me: info@tenfoldmorewicked.com Follow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Facebook and Instagram)See my sources here: tenfoldmorewicked.comSupport this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link: https://bit.ly/4dsqzI12020 All Rights Reserved See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
