She was a law student, a mother, and by all appearances, the picture of composure — but behind the charm, investigators say Ana Paula Veloso Fernandes was orchestrating a trail of death across São Paulo. Let’s jump behind the headlines and into the psychology of female serial killers, exploring why women who kill often use deception, poison, and trust itself as their weapons. Police say Fernandes first tested her poison on dogs, then turned it on her friends, lovers, and even her landlord whom she stabbed to death and hid inside her home for five days. We’ll examine what drives predators like Fernandes: the need for control, the thrill of power over life and death, and the psychological dissociation that allows someone to smile while committing murder.
