Join Heather and her Status Pending co-host Scott Fuller for this BONUS episode. We touched on this serial killer in a recent Status Pending episode as a potential suspect in one of our cases. Since we don’t typically cover serial killers on that podcast, we decided to record a bonus for our Nature vs Narcissism listeners! This serial killer was the true definition of a chameleon! We discovered a minimum of 6 aliases that he had over the years…but we truly believe that there were many more, as well as many more victims. We hope you enjoy! Let us know your thoughts on this case!!!If you are interested in ad-free and extra episodes as well as merch and other swag; think about joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/NVNpodcast for as little as $1 per month!Check out our website for sources and more - at www.naturevsnarcissism.comIf you’re interested in meeting us; get your tickets for the 2023 True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival that is happening in Austin, Texas from August 25-27.

BONUS - Terry Rasmussen (The Chameleon)

Nature vs Narcissism is a true crime/comedy podcast based in Cincinnati, Ohio where Heather and her guests discuss true crimes and the narcissists who commit them.  Sometimes we have alcohol and sometimes things get weird.  Relaunching on our 4th PodBirthday (Oct 22, 2021), the structure changed a lot.  Every episode is different and every episode is entertaining!  We will delve into whether we think nature made the criminals commit these heinous acts, or if it's simply their narcissism getting the best of them.  Keep in mind, this podcast is strictly for entertainment purposes and is in no way a professional diagnosis of the subjects discussed.

True crime

For those who have been listeners since the start of NVN, you know that the very first episode in 2017 was about Aileen Wuornos.  But the recent episodes provide a lot more depth and offer details that we found through documentaries and books that were in Aileen’s words.  This truly changed my perspective on the person she was.  This made me want to look more into other female killers (some we’ve discussed briefly and others we’ve never talked about on the podcast).  Heather and Karah will be covering some "Lady Killers" in this mini-series. In this episode, we’re going to talk about Anna Marie Hahn.As a quick summary, Anna Marie Hahn was a 26-year old immigrant from Germany who offered her services in Cincinnati as a live-in attendant for elderly men.  Over a period of about a year she would end up taking all she could from 5 victims (all of their assets) before finally murdering them once they had nothing left for her to take.She used a different poison each time she killed her victims.  Once suspicions were raised, police exhumed the bodies of her victims aka her former employers, and she was arrested.  Even though it was pretty clear that she was the killer, she still attempted a mercy killing defense…which didn’t pan out.  And in 1938, Anna Marie Hahn became the first woman in Ohio’s history to die in the electric chair.

Lady Killers (Anna Marie Hahn) wKarah

Marie Alexandrine Baker was classified as a serial killer who would rob and poison her victims in Belgium.  Marie began killing at 55 years old, in 1932 and was apprehended in 1936.  In the span of 4 years, Marie killed at least 10 people, including her husband, a male lover, and many female customers.  For her crimes, Marie was sentenced to life in prison in 1936, only to die 2 years later in 1942.Since Part 1 was less than 10 minutes; we combined Part 1 and Part 2 for one episode!If you are interested in ad-free and extra episodes as well as merch and other swag; think about joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/NVNpodcast for as little as $1 per month!ALSO - just to remind you guys!  The True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival is happening in July 2024!  We will be in Denver, Colorado from July 12th - 14th and YOU can visit us, meet us in person, grab some stickers, and hang out!  You can also get 15% off your tickets if you enter NVN15 in the promo code section at the checkout page!

Join Heather and Brittany in Part 2 of Aileen Wuornos to see what their thoughts are on Nature, Nurture, and Narcissism. WHY did Aileen do what she did? Why did she behave so erratically? COULD she have stopped killing? Could she ever have actual remorse for her actions? Did she truly believe that she was the target of government conspiracies? What was going on in that head of hers?And what about Dawn? Was she a positive influence on Aileen? Or just another person who Aileen could manipulate, gaslight, and take advantage of?---ALSO - just to remind you guys! The True Crime and Paranormal Podcast Festival is happening in July 2024!

Aileen Wuornos (Part 2)

The Monster. The Damsel of Death. Infamously referred to as the first female serial killer. At five feet, four inches tall and 137 pounds; a transient sex worker who took the lives of 7 men in several acts of self-defense, according to her. But how could this be possible? Aileen aka Lee, was all love, at one time, stating quote “Too bad society has me all wrong, from all the cop lies and defamation put out on me. Because really I was all ‘LOVE’. Now I’m not.”For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about Aileen and her criminal life.In part 2, We will delve more into our thoughts regarding her crimes, behavior, and details that we found straight from her writings and interviews.So, join us next week for Part 2 - where Brittany (From Where The Weird Things Are Podcast) and I will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.If you are interested in ad-free and extra episodes as well as merch and other swag; think about joining our Patreon at Patreon.com/NVNpodcast for as little as $1 per month!ALSO - just to remind you guys!
