When most people think about what a mother is; they are typically associated with concepts of love, nurturing, protection, and support.  But sadly, this is not always the truth.  Some mother’s are not loving or nurturing, and in the case of Mary Ann Cotton - she looked at her family with dollar signs in her eyes.

So pull up a chair my spooky friends.  Today, you will be hearing the story of the woman who is considered to be Britain’s very first female serial killer.  But be forewarned.  Today we will be talking about the murder of both adults and children.  Listener discretion is advised.
