🔪 Belle Gunness: Murder, Mayhem & Missing Heads - Discover the chilling story of America's deadliest "Black Widow" who turned murder into a profitable enterprise in early 1900s Indiana. From lonely hearts schemes to life insurance fraud, follow the blood-soaked trail of this ruthless killer who amassed over $250,000 through her deadly financial schemes (equivalent to millions today).

Journey to La Porte, Indiana, where this Norwegian immigrant built her infamous "murder farm" and lured wealthy suitors to their doom through carefully crafted lonely hearts advertisements. Learn how she combined cold-blooded murder with meticulous bookkeeping, transforming her isolated farmstead into a killing ground where over 40 victims met their fate.

Uncover the twisted tale of how Gunness manipulated life insurance policies, orchestrated "accidental" deaths, and convinced wealthy men to liquidate their assets before making them disappear forever. This episode reveals her methods of exploitation, her calculated victim selection, and the mysterious fire that brought her reign of terror to an explosive end - or did it?

Join us for this haunting exploration of greed, deception, and murder as we examine one of history's most calculating killers who proved that the deadliest predators don't always lurk in the shadows - sometimes they're keeping the books.
