Episode description
It's 1908 in La Porte, Indiana and a farmhouse belonging to Belle Gunness, a 50-year-old immigrant from Norway, is engulfed in flames. As firefighters dig through the charred remains of Belle's family, they discover something else: Dozens of bodies buried in the backyard. While it's difficult to know exactly what one of America's first female serial killers was thinking as she slaughtered her victims for profit, there's one thing for certain. Belle Gunness was one naughty Norwegian.
