True Crime
This week, Caitie brings us a less obscure case, but one that has fascinated her for years. Belle Gunness was the OG Black Widow, having killed around 45 men, women and children in Illinois and Indiana. When you hear about her schemes, you will want to hop in your car and travel to the murder farm for the chance to uncover a watch, a package of dismembered body parts, or perhaps even a tooth!
Sources: Hell's Princess: The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men by Harold Schechter; In The Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce; and about a gazillion old newspaper articles.
