Leonarda Cianciulli had a ghastly childhood that helped form her into the narcissistic monster she would later become, axe-murdering 3 women and making soap and teacakes with their remains. This, she justified, was all for the greater good: her son's life. She was deeply disturbed, and the details of her murders are horrifying. Join us in kicking off two months of Halloween, with the first in our series of monsters, human and otherwise: Leonarda Cianciulli.
