Serial killers Reveal 14 {Famous Black Widows } by TheSourcerer: 1:12am On Sep 16, 2020
Black widows are husband killers , yeah they are mostly manipulative sociopaths , seemingly 'normal married '' who either kill men or pay other people including children and Assassins , to kill men particularly their husbands

The most ruthless or prolific female murderers become famous black widows, ladies assumed to have used their feminine nature in some way to lure their victims.

Deadly black widows hold a particular fascination for crime buffs, and horror fans, so it's only fitting that we examine some of them in a historical context. This list looks at high-profile cases of female murderers from times past, giving a rundown of their alleged crimes, body counts, and ultimate fates.

1.) Aileen Wuornos was the first woman to fit the FBI's official definition of a serial killer.

Between 1989 and 1990, Wuornos killed seven men along Florida and southern Georgia highways whom she later claimed had been trying to rape her (she was a sex worker at the time, supporting herself and her girlfriend, Tyria Moore, with the money she earned). But the fact that she robbed her victims' bodies and went out of her way to hide them helped convince a jury that the killings were more sinister.

Wuornos's killing career came to an end when investigators were able to track her and Moore down using fingerprints and palm prints left behind in one of Wuornos's victims' cars.

Moore cut a deal with police, and eventually got Wuornos to confess over the phone to all seven murders, taking sole responsibility for them.

She was convicted of first-degree murder in one of the victim's cases, and she was sentenced to death in 1992. During the next 10 years on death row, she eventually confessed to all of the murders she'd been accused of, and she was put to death in 2002.

Body Count: 7

Fate: Death by lethal injection. Her story was the subject of the 2003 film Monster, starring Charlize Theron (who won an Oscar for her performance) in the role of Wuornos.

Velma Barfield had a bad case of taking money from those around her and when she felt like she was close to being caught, she got rid of the problem by feeding her victims arsenic. In court, she claimed she was merely trying to keep them from finding out about her stealing, just long enough to find a new job, but the jury didn't buy it.

Barfield was found guilty of poisoning to death her fiance, Stuart Taylor, in 1978. She later confessed to fatally poisoning her mother and two elderly people under her care, earning her the name, "Death Row Granny".

Named the "Black Widow of Henderson County" Beets was convicted and given the death penalty in 1985 for shooting her fifth husband, Jimmy Don Beets, and burying his body in the yard of their home in Gun Barrel City, Texas. But his wasn't the only body they found hidden by Beets.

The decomposed body of husband number four, Doyle Wayne Barker, was discovered underneath a storage shed in the yard as well. An autopsy revealed that both Beets and Barker had been shot in the head multiple times.

Betty Beets pointed the guilty finger at her son, but she failed to convince the jury who later convicted her of murder

The Giggling Nanny
When Oklahoma investigators began questioning Nannie Doss about the massive amounts of poison found in the remains of her fifth husband, little did they know that he was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

By the time the interviews were over, Doss, later known as "The Giggling Granny" and "The Jolly Black Widow" had confessed to killing 11 more family members including her mother, sisters, and a grandson.

Janie Gibbs
Janie was a very giving woman with the insurance money she made after she killed her husband with the rat poison she put in his food. She also thrived on the wonderful outpouring of sympathy and support she received from her church. In fact, she enjoyed the money and the attention she received so much that she decided to kill off the rest of her family.

Amy "Sister" Archer-Gilligan owned a private nursing home in Windsor, Connecticut where she served her aging guests nurturing tonics and nutritional meals. In return, they signed over to her their life insurance policies and large sums of money right before they died, or so she wanted the police to believe after she became suspected of foul play.

It took the jury just four hours to find Gilligan guilty of murdering her husband, the murder of Franklin R. Andrews, although she was suspected of murdering up to 48 patients in the nursing home.

Belle Gunness was a stout 280-pound woman that had little problem attracting men she met through personal ads. Many of the men showed up to her small farm in La Porte, Indiana, but then vanished, never to be seen again. But this ruthless killer didn't just kill men. She also killed vagrant women and her adopted children. No one was safe in Belle Gunness' home.

Blanche Moore
Moore currently sits on death row in North Carolina for using arsenic to murder her boyfriend, Raymond Reid in 1986. But he wasn't all who Moore is suspected of poisoning. It seems her father, mother-in-law, two husbands and a boyfriend also died similar deaths. Why did she do it? Prosecutors say for financial gain. Others believe she had deeper reasons.

Wherever Betty Neumar went, death seemed to follow, especially if you were one of her five husbands. But even after her arrest for killing her last husband she managed to avoid going to trial, forever. Or did she?

Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt, both in their 70s, decided a good way to increase their income and retire in style was to murder down and out men by befriending them, offering them food and shelter, then murdering them for insurance money, to the tune of $2.3 million before they were stopped. The deadly duo finally got caught because of greed and an alert detective.


NB : Do not marry a black widow
