Her poetic words lured lonely men with promises of wedded bliss.  Belle Gunness, a Norwegian American widow, had a knack for attracting wealthy suitors.  Twice” widowed”, Gunness and her children settled on an Indiana farm in the late 19th century.  When bachelors who showed up at her farm started disappearing, she had some explaining to do.  It is possible that Belle was responsible for as many as forty murders.  If a female serial murderer intrigues you, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
