Eastside Tour
From H.H. Holmes's 1894 Irvington cottage to the LaSalle Street basement murders — the Eastside's darkest chapters, told by the people who worked them.
The Eastside runs from historic Irvington through the near-east corridor and out into the far reaches of Marion County — and every mile has a story. Your retired IMPD guide walks you through the cases that defined these neighborhoods, including the 1894 murder in Irvington that finally stopped America's first documented serial killer, and the 1971 LaSalle Street killings that went unsolved for decades.
