Beginning Monday, February 20th. The story of Jane Stanford, one of the richest women in the country in 1905. But the life of Stanford University’s founder was cut short — poisoned — and it wasn’t the first attempt. In the weeks following her death, her innermost circle would collaborate in a messy coverup, ruling her death as natural.
