S2.E4 - Electric Chair: 1; Woman: 0 - The Poisoning Practices of Anna Hahn

The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat examine the case of Anna Marie Hahn, one of the first women in the United States to be executed in the electric chair - and yes, once again we’re asking: WHY is it always arsenic? In the 1930s, Hahn was accused of poisoning elderly men in Ohio, earning headlines that painted her as manipulative and calculating. Her case marked the eighth time we’ve covered arsenic on this show - bringing our running total to 8 cases and 63 victims linked to this particular poison. This episode walks through the accusations, the trial, and the controversy that still surrounds her conviction. Anna Marie Hahn was more than a headline. We break down what happened, how it happened, and why arsenic keeps showing up in the darkest corners of history.Links We Used:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Marie_Hahnhttps://www.wosu.org/news/2006-09-18/ohios-hahn-just-an-evil-personhttps://www.historicalcrimedetective.com/female-serial-killer-anna-marie-hahn-1906-1938/HistoricalCrimeDetective.comhttps://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2009/12/08/anna-marie-hahn-blonde-poison/23952839007/https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/anna-marie-hahn-robert-priseman/FwE471GoZrUIvw?hl=enhttps://murderpedia.org/female.H/h/hahn-anna-marie.htmhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15812225/anna_mariehttps://web.archive.org/web/20090218041328/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,758318,00.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20090904192244/http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/women/anna_hahn/index.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20101221045020/http://skcentral.com/articles.php?article_id=281
