Buckle up listeners, on this Hometown MACABRE we are traveling back in time to La Porte Indiana to the late 1800’s early 1900’s for a true crime discussion of a woman who earned her title as America’s Most Degenerate Female Serial Killer. It isn’t often that we talk about female serial killers. This one is something, let me tell you. Listener discretion is advised. On today’s episode we are talking about The La Porte Ghoul, Hell’s Bell, but you might know her best as the black widow, Belle Gunness.

Oh listeners. Buckle up… Have we got a strange one for you today? Today’s tale of terror was sent in by one of our very own listeners, the lovely Macabre, Alex(you know who you are)….thank you Alex for sending in the mystery of the missing cat lady, that I will be covering today. Alex was kind enough to send in photos and case files and even an audio recording. She went all out for this episode!

As far as being true to MACABRE, this story has everything you could ask for. It has cats…and I mean a LOT of cats. But we’ll get into that in a minute. It has…a missing person…. It has fraud…and I’m not saying it for sure has murder but I’m not, NOT saying MURDERRR. So buckle up listeners because as always, today’s hometown macabre is not for the faint of heart.
