You may have heard of a woman named Nannie Doss. She was a white American serial killer from Oklahoma who was responsible for the poison deaths of 11 people between 1920 and 1955. 

The media referred to her as the Giggling Nanny, the Black Widow, The Lonely Hearts Killer, and one newspaper even called her the Self-Made Widow. She was sentenced to life in prison and died in 1965, and her story is still being told over 75 years later. 

But what you may NOT know is that on the OTHER side of the country in Atlanta, Georgia,  there was another serial killer, a WOMAN, who was killing her victims the same way DURING the SAME time frame. 

The only difference is, there was little to NO news coverage about her, she killed MORE people, and of course, she was black. JOIN US as we discuss what little IS known about, Roberta Elder.
