Summary
If you Google the name Lavinia Fisher, you see stories about America's first female serial killer. But does she actually deserve the honor? Tune into an episode from the Patreon vault, all the way back from summer 2021. We talk old south, hangings, conspiracies and ghosts. Lavinia was known for her charm and good looks, which she allegedly used to lure men into her inn and then drug them with a potent mixture of alcohol and opium. Once the victims were unconscious, Lavinia and her husband would rob them of their belongings and then kill them...or did they? They were eventually caught and Lavinia was tried and convicted of murder. She was hanged in 1820 and is believed to be the first woman in the United States to be executed for a capital crime.
