Debunking the Legend of Lavinia Fisher

from Ghoulish Tendencies · host Gabi Fiore & Kim Douthit

According to legend, Lavinia Fisher was the first female serial killer in the United States, luring as many as 30 men to their death with the help of her husband. But the true story is very different. The legend of Lavinia Fisher bears little resemblance to the truth. Lavinia and her husband John stood accused lot of murder, but robbery, and as you look at history, even that can be called into question.
