Belle Gunness immigrated to the United States in the late 1800's from Norway with big dreams of marrying well and raising a family of her own. However, when life didn't go exactly as planned, she tried to find a way to success on her own... by any means necessary. In Part 1 of this 2 Part Episode on Belle Gunness we hear of her early days in the United States and the tragic and very suspicious deaths of her first two husbands. If you think Part 1 is wild, just wait until the 2nd half of Belle's life...
