Season Two, Episode One of Deadly Truths takes you inside the walls of Fort Leavenworth for a chilling Halloween special. We begin our October series with the infamous story of Carl Panzram — the Madman of Leavenworth. Born in brutality and shaped by abuse, Panzram grew into one of America’s most terrifying criminals. He confessed to murders, assaults, and arsons across the world, and in 1930 he walked to the gallows at Leavenworth with defiance on his lips. Was he born a monster, or made by the cruelty he endured? And does his ghost still haunt the prison today?


Join us as Deadly Truths uncovers the life, crimes, and legacy of one of history’s darkest figures — kicking off Season Two at Fort Leavenworth, just in time for Halloween.
