Chapter 1: The Black Widow: Belle Gunness

Belle Gunness, a Norwegian-American serial killer, is one of the most notorious female criminals in history. She lured men to her farm in La Porte, Indiana, with promises of marriage and financial security, only to murder them and collect their life insurance policies. Belle's modus operandi was brutal and efficient: she would poison her victims with arsenic, dismember their bodies, and burn their remains in a stove.

Belle Gunness's reign of terror came to an end in 1908, when a fire destroyed her farm. Her charred remains were found in the rubble, along with the bones of at least 14 of her victims. Belle's true number of victims is unknown, but it is estimated that she killed dozens of men over a period of several years.

Cotton's killing spree began in 1852 and continued for over a decade. She was finally arrested in 1873 after her stepson's death from arsenic poisoning. Cotton was convicted of murder and hanged in 1875. Her case remains one of the most notorious examples of female homicide in British history.
