About this listen

It was the Hearst newspaper story of the new century in 1902. Everybody loved Jolly Jane Toppan- the loving, caring nurse- until her patients, friends, enemies, and relatives started dropping like flies.

But many believed she had done away with 100 souls in her 5 years of killing.
