Today we start a WILD two-parter on what can essentially breakdown to "missed connections gone horribly wrong - for the men".  Belle Guinness is our topic today, a serial killer of the female persuasion. Originally from Norway, Belle emigrated to the US and began "operating " in Chicago, falling in love with butchery, and then taking things too far.
