The Christmas Poisoner

from True Crime Never Sleeps Hosted by True Crime Never Sleeps

In this chilling holiday episode of Murder With My Husband, Payton dives into the bizarre and twist-filled case of Barbara Hoffman—a biochemistry student turned massage parlor worker turned accused murderer. On Christmas Day 1977, a man walks into the Madison Police Department and confesses to helping bury a body in the snow. What unravels next is a tangled web of deceit, dual identities, suspicious life insurance policies, and two mysterious deaths—both men deeply involved with the same woman. Was Barbara Hoffman a misunderstood genius? A manipulative killer? Or the perfect scapegoat? 🛑 Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health, and graphic content related to murder. Listener discretion is advised.
