Lethal Ladies of the StatesL Twisted Tales Tuesdays
In celebration of the Independence Day of our American cousins, today’s episode looks at two lethal ladies around the turn of the century.
Our first one, Mary McKnight looks set to have beaten our worst female serial killer, Mary Ann Cotton, with a suspected 18 kills under her belt. Like our Mary Ann, you were taking your life in your own hands if you hung out with her.
Our second lethal lady is Lulu Johnson. We admit to being initially intrigued just by the name! This one is mysterious: something of a serial monogamist, but just with the kill factor added in when she tires of the current beau. Only a paltry 6 deaths under her belt as far as could be told, but it could be more.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
