Happy Sunday Coven. Here’s your crime of the week. Nannie Doss was a cold-blooded killer who murdered her own mother, her mother-in-law, four husbands, her sister, and her grandson over the course of the 1920s-1950s. Despite her apparent lack of empathy, she received the nickname of the "Giggling Granny" because she couldn't help but uncontrollably laugh when she discussed the murders that she committed. Doss, too, was an arsenic roadie. She died of natural causes while incarcerated. She was only convicted of killing her final husband #notyourbasicmurder #truecrimepodcasts #truecrimecommunity #truecrimestories #serialkillers #serialkillerfacts #murderlovincoven #basicbitchesunite #truecrimeallthetime #truecrimeaddict #truecrimeandchill #truecrimejunkie #nanniedoss #crimeoftheweek

8. Amelia Dyer

In the 1860s Amelia Dyer trained to be a nurse – a difficult, yet respectable job in the 19th century. She also trained as a midwife & learned some useful skills, most notably, an easier way to earn money than nursing; she discovered that she could charge young women who had conceived illegitimate and unwanted children to lodge at her home, then help them give birth, keeping the unwanted babies herself in return for regular payments or a single, up-front fee from the babies mothers, then farming them off for adoption. In a society of morality where single parents and illegitimate children were frowned upon, the practice of baby-farming was not uncommon. In 1869, Amelia’s husband died and she gave birth to a daughter. She was in need of cash, and in the Bristol Times & Mirror newspaper she saw a notice: ‘Wanted, respectable woman to take young child.’ Under the false name of ‘Mrs Harding’, Amelia met the woman who had placed the notice – a barmaid who had fallen pregnant by a customer – and received a £10 fee to take the young child, named Doris. The following day, the 1st of April, ‘Mrs. Harding’ took in another child, Harry Simmons. In the same week, a bargeman saw a brown paper parcel lying in the Thames & fished it out. Whilst unwrapping it, a tiny human leg and foot appeared. The body was Helena Fry; an illegitimate child who had been given to Amelia almost a month earlier. The brown paper parcel that Helena had been wrapped in provided a vital clue for the police; it had the name and address of a Mrs Thomas on it. “Thomas”was one of Amelia’s aliases. After the discovery of Helena Fry, the river was searched and two other tiny bodies were found; Doris Marmon aged 4 months, and Harry Simmons, aged 13 months. Both bodies were wrapped in a carpet bag and both had white tapes round their necks. In all, the corpses of 7 babies, all of whom had been strangled, were recovered from the Thames and each one had the same white tape around their neck, this was Amelia’s modus operandi and she would later tell the police “That [the presence of white tape] was how you could tell it was one of mine” On 4th April 1896, Amelia Dyer was arrested and charged with

If you wish to do your own research on this "couple" please feel free to do so. Unfortunately their twenty year tirade of terror (dubbed "The House of Horrors" Murders) is too lengthy for Instagram's unnecessarily bullshit character limit.

Other female serial killers tend to target the vulnerable type (children, the elderly or the sick) or people they know well. This wasn’t the case for Dennehy as she purposely set out to kill men, apparently for a laugh.”
