Murder Monday: Belle Gunness: The Black Widow of the Midwest

In this spine-chilling episode, we dive into the dark and grim tale of Belle Gunness, one of the most notorious female serial killers in American history. Dubbed as the 'Black Widow of the Midwest', Belle's story is as horrifying as it is fascinating.

We begin by tracing Belle's roots back to her birthplace in Norway, her immigration to the United States, and her unsettling journey towards becoming a murderous force. We also delve into the details of her marriages, each ending under mysterious circumstances, and the unsettling pattern of insurance claims that followed.

Explore the chilling details of how Gunness lured her victims through lonely hearts ads, promising love and prosperity on her farm in La Porte, Indiana, only for her suitors to disappear without a trace. We dive into the events leading up to the fateful fire that razed her farmhouse in 1908, and the gruesome discovery that led to the unveiling of her murderous spree.
