Belle Gunness: Hell's Belle
from The Poisoner's Almanac Hosted by Goldstar002
Hey there Poison Friends! We are discussing the 19th century serial poisoner, Belle Gunness. Originally from Norway, she immigrated to America in her late teens. She seemed to have terrible luck with her first few husbands dying as well as with many children in her care, all of them conveniently insured. After buying a pig farm with the life insurance from a previous dead husband, she eventually became bold enough to write ads seeking men in Norwegian based newspapers. Most of those who took the bait were never heard from again. She did warn some that they should "come prepared to stay forever." Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!
