America's First 'Craigslist Killer': The Story of Belle Gunness Apr 09, 2018

Show notes

The setting is La Porte, Indiana, and the year 1908. On the night of April 28, a farmhouse belonging to a widow named Belle Gunness burned to the ground. And when the embers cooled enough for investigators to dig through the rubble, they discovered the headless body of a woman clutching the charred remains of three children. They believed this to be Belle. But that wasn't all they discovered. They also found a number of decomposed, dismembered bodies buried on the same property, which pointed to Belle herself as the female serial killer known as Lady Bluebeard. But the truth still remains obscured, at least in part. Not only is it unclear if Gunness really died in the fire, but the six-foot-tall Norwegian widow may have staged the whole thing—and got away with it.
