He was a gifted pianist, a smooth talker, and a convicted fraudster who figured out how to make his victims disappear — permanently. John George Haig believed he'd found the perfect crime: no body, no murder charge. Over five years, six people trusted him with their money, their homes, or their friendship. All six paid with their lives.
In this episode of Black Crime File, we trace how a career con man escalated from petty fraud to calculated murder, why the justice system kept letting him walk free, and how one sharp-eyed desk sergeant's memory finally brought him down. This is the story of the Acid Bath Killer — the trust he exploited, the loophole he misunderstood, and the forensic breakthrough that closed the case for good.

⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This episode contains detailed descriptions of violent crime.
