The Attic of Horrors: Fritz Honka and the Hidden Bodies of St. Pauli
In the smoky bars of 1970s Hamburg’s red-light district, a quiet night watchman named Fritz Honka preyed on vulnerable women. Over five years, he murdered at least four, dismembered their bodies, and lived among the remains hidden in his cramped attic apartment—until a devastating fire exposed his gruesome secret.
Host Alexander Lawson uncovers the tragic lives of the victims, Honka’s troubled past, the shocking discovery, and the trial that revealed a killer hiding in plain sight. A chilling tale of isolation, alcoholism, and the invisibility of marginalized women.
