Episode description
Our murderess of the day is Leonarda Cianciulli, a female serial killer who's love for her son was so strong that when he was drafted into the Italian Army during World War II, she decided to "save him" through human sacrifice.
She also turned her victims into tea cakes and soap, and gave both to her neighbors. Her capability to commit these horrendous crimes was said to be predicted by two different fortune tellers as a young woman.
