England's First Female Serial Killer: Mary Ann Cotton


Listen Later

Buckle in folks, this one is a freakin' doozy. Mary Ann Cotton is thought to be England's first female serial killer. While she was only ever officially charged with one death, many more have been attributed to her. Shrimp takes us through the details of the case, while Kat engages in some good ol' 1800s slander.
