Mary Jane Jackson (born 1836 – vanished around 1863) was an American serial killer, sex worker, and criminal who operated in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the 1840s through the 1860s. She earned the nickname "Bricktop" because of her striking red hair. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1836.She entered the world of prostitution at the age of 14 and became one of the most formidable women in the French Quarter of New Orleans, notorious for her violent confrontations with men who provoked her, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. She established her own brothel on Dauphine Street, collaborating with Delia Swift, known as Bridget Fury, as well as Ellen Collins and America Williams. On December 5, 1861, she fatally stabbed her partner, John Miller. In 1862, she was released from prison by General George Shepley, the military governor of Louisiana, who granted amnesty to all felons, after which she vanished from public view.

Betty, a high school dropout who left school in the 10th grade, spent the majority of her life employed as a cashier and waitress. Throughout her life, she entered into five marriages. She had killed her husband, a firefighter, in order to obtain his life insurance benefits amounting to $100,000 and his pension. His remains were found in a wishing well on their property, which was adorned with a flower garden. Additionally, police uncovered the skeletal remains of her fourth husband, Doyle Wayne Baker, buried beneath a storage shed on the premises. Baker had also been shot, and his disappearance had remained a mystery until the investigation into her fifth husband led to the search of her property. She became known as the "Killer Granny."

This incident is a tragic occurrence involving a cable installer who was shot multiple times during what seems to be an attempted robbery. The behavior of the assailant indicates a possible lack of experience or sound judgment, suggesting that the crime may have been driven by panic or executed poorly. The shooting took place shortly after the victim commenced his work at approximately 12:30 pm, with law enforcement being alerted just before at 12:19 pm. This timing underscores that the event transpired in a public setting, likely in the presence of witnesses. It is possible that the nearby work truck was the intended target for theft, and the perpetrator may have misled the victim into a false sense of security prior to the outbreak of violence. Despite the severity of the situation, there are still numerous investigative paths that could provide clarity on the case.

On October 4, 2004, the lifeless and partially clothed body of nineteen-year-old Courtney Coco was discovered in a derelict building along Farm to Market Road 1406, close to Interstate 10 in Winnie, Texas. Originally from Alexandria, Louisiana, Courtney was last seen alive around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2004. Despite various leads emerging during the investigation, the case eventually went cold. It wasn't until fifteen years later that authorities arrested a suspect—who had been engaged to Courtney's sister in 2004—for her murder. The trial ensued and a jury in Rapides Parish reached a unanimous verdict.

It wasn’t easy being Anne Plue Gates’ husband. In fact, in two out of three cases, it was deadly. The murder charges brought against a woman in connection with the fatal beating of her estranged second husband have piqued the interest of a law enforcement officer from Indiana, who previously investigated the death of her first husband. Deputies said Mrs. Gates, who had been living with her parents in Picayune, Mississippi, was the beneficiary of her husband’s $82,000 life insurance policy. Anne Gates will be eternally recognized in Louisiana as the Black Widow of New Orleans. Join us to witness her sentencing and observe the court's approach to this case.
