Belle Gunness - Part 2


Listen Later

Part 2 will take a look into the happenings on the Gunness Farm after the suspicious death of Belle's second husband Peter. Belle then successfully hired farm hands to help on her farm through a newspaper ad. Unfortunately for Belle, these hired farmhands keep suspiciously up and leaving without notice. Instead of help wanted ads, she turned to matrimonial ads for a more permanent fix. However dozens of ad respondents made plans to head to La Porte, Indiana to meet a wealthy widow and are never seen or heard from again. It is not until 1908, when a fire burns the Gunness familly farm home down to just remaining brick walls that Belle's secrets are unearthed.
