    18: The Pious Poisoner: Maria Swanenburg, aka Goeie Mie
    May 21 2025
    Prepare to drift off into a chilling tale of trust, betrayal, and murder in this episode of True Crime Sleep Stories. Tonight, we explore the unsettling life of Maria Swanenberg, a woman lovingly nicknamed "Goeie Mie."

    To her neighbors, she was a kind and devoted caretaker—but behind the warm, pious exterior lay a sinister secret. Maria's nursing skills came with a deadly twist, and her poison claimed dozens of lives.

    Uncover the dark truths about her motives, her methods, and how she might have continued her twisted mission if not for a single oversight.

    This is a story of deception, tragedy, and the unmasking of a killer who exploited the very people who trusted her most.
