True Crime: Belle Gunness


Listen Later

Belle Gunness born on November 11, 1859. Known as Hell’s Belle or Lady Bluebeard, she was one of the first Black Widows and became a prolific serial killer. Belle moved to America in 1881 to make her fortune and to find the "American Dream" and while technically she did make a lot of money, she did so through insurance fraud and murder. Looking at her life, it seemed as though disaster and tragedy continuously struck her and her family: her properties burned down and her family members all died. But an even closer look shows silver lining in the form of collecting her insurance payout. Be sure to join us for this kinda crazy story!

Stay safe out there.


With love, Saaniya and Maddie x
