Lynn was already secretly living with Randy Thompson, a firefighter, who would meet the same excruciating death... A POISONOUS TRUTH... Driven by family who would not give up their quest for justice, a new investigation and an explosive trial eventually exposed the truth about a woman who had a way of making men die, and about a means of murder that was pure intoxicating evil.

Book Description
Among some people in our society, there remains a certain fascination when it comes to horror tales of murderous women who were responsible for the violent deaths of those around them. These women are known throughout history as Black Widows. Despite all seeking to cause the demise of male figures in their lives, Black Widows are not all the same. They have a number of 'weapons of choice' from the slow and agonizing death from poison to a short sharp push from a height or the pull of a trigger. They are cunning and sly, perfectly matching the female spiders for which they are named, who kill their partners after mating. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF TRUE CRIME SUSAN GRUND A love story went horribly wrong, and the complex web that had to be untangled to get to the truth...On August 4th, 1992, paramedics responded to an emergency call to Number Seven Summit Drive, Peru, Indiana. Outside, the caller still had the phone pressed to her ear, presumably still talking to Duke Memorial Hospital Emergency Room's dispatcher. Inside the master bedroom was a lifeless body lying on a couch, seemingly asleep. Upon closer inspection, E.M.T. technician Carolyn Shaffer could tell that the individual was no longer alive. KELLY GISSENDANER Kelly Gissendaner, born Kelly Brookshire, became the sixth and last woman executed in Georgia for her role in the murder of her husband, Douglas Gissendaner, by her lover, Greg Owen. The murder was gruesome, Kelly demonstrated a lack of credibility with lies, and the murder was clearly premeditated- three things that helped a jury convict her of her role in the murder. ANNA MARIE HAHN "Anna was flat broke. But when she saw a person walking down the street she would think that individual had HER money in their pocket. If she had to kill that person to get HER money, then she would take out her poison and say 'let's get this party started.'" - forensic psychologist Paula Orange Anna Marie Hahn had a gambling habit. She indulged her addiction at the horse races and bookie joints throughout Cincinnati in the 1930s. Anna wasn't very good at picking horses, losing time and again while accruing debt. ALL THESE STORIES AND MORE AWAIT...

Book Description
"I was a greedy, ravenous individual, determined to rise from the bottom to the top . . . It wasn't me!"--Jack Unterweger's final words to his jury Serial killers rarely travel internationally. So in the early 1990s, when detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department began to find bodies of women strangled with their own bras, it didn't occur to them at first to make a connection with the bodies being uncovered in the woods outside of Vienna, Austria. The LAPD waited for the killer to strike again. Meanwhile, in Austria, the police followed what few clues they had. The case intrigued many reporters, but few as keenly as Jack Unterweger, a local celebrity. He cut a striking figure, this little man in expensive white suits. His expertise on Vienna's criminal underworld was hard-earned. He had been sentenced to life in jail as a young man. But while incarcerated, he began to write—and his work earned him the glowing attention of the literary elite. The intelligentsia lobbied for his release and by 1990, Jack was free again. He continued writing, nurturing his career as a journalist. But though he now traveled in the highest circles, he had a secret life. He was killing again, and in the greatest of ironies, reporting on the very crimes he had committed. With unprecedented access to Jack's diaries and letters, John Leake peels back the layers of deception to reveal the life and crimes of Jack Unterweger, and in unnerving detail, exposes the thrilling twists—both in the United States and Europe—that led to Jack's capture and Austria's "trial of the century."

A glorious enterprise meant to raise her from the bleak, colorless drudgery of her childhood to the life she deserves. After all, vermin always survive.
