Gerry Boggs: “Black Widow Bride” | MURDERISH Ep. 126

Some might say New Orleans native Jill Coit collected husbands as a hobby. Between 1961 and 1992, she was married 11 times to 9 different men. Some of these marriages were acts of bigamy - Jill married a handful of men while she was still legally wed to others. On the outside, it could appear that she was obsessed with companionship. But a deeper look at Jill’s life revealed a twisted, manipulative side - not a woman intent on finding true love. Her tendency to swap out husbands like designer shoes would lead one man to his death. 52-year-old Gerry Boggs was a lifelong bachelor until he fell into Jill’s trap. Soon people would learn about the tangled web Jill spun as a serial bigamist turned murderess, and how she earned the ominous nickname ‘Colorado’s Black Widow’.
