Listen "Belle Gunness: Murder Through Love Letters"
Episode Synopsis
She was a loving mother, a grieving widow–and one of America’s most prolific female serial killers. In the 19th century, Norwegian immigrant Belle Gunness lured wealthy suitors to her Indiana farmhouse through newspaper ads promising love, fortune, and a fresh start—only for them to strangely disappear. What investigators discovered when they visited her home would leave behind one of the most chilling mysteries in American true crime history.
