It should also kind of be noted that while he did confess to many murders, there's no exact list of how many wives he even had or how many of them were victims. Like, there could be more, many more.

Now he is going by the name Charles Newton Harvey, and he's marrying another woman now while he's married to Catherine named Alice Ludvigson in Port Townsend, Washington. It's worth noting that he was technically still married to Catherine Cruz, but he had abandoned her several years earlier. Oh. Like, maybe even as early as 1914, just abandoned her. Nice.
