Italy’s Infamous Soap-Maker: The Woman Who Turned Her Victims into Teacakes

from Crimehub: A True Crime Podcast · host Crimehub Studios

During World War II, a desperate woman seeking love went to a local fortune teller for help—and vanished. What no one knew was that Leonarda Cianciulli, a beloved soapmaker and grieving mother, was performing human sacrifices in a twisted attempt to save her son from the horrors of war. Her victims? Lonely women lured by false promises of marriage and jobs—then poisoned, butchered, and rendered into bars of soap and baked goods. This is the chilling tale of Italy’s most macabre serial killer… and the curse she believed justified it all. Author: Mike Colucci * * * DISCLAIMER: This episode contains explicit content.
