17-year-old Ida Place had the stepmother from hell. When her father William married Martha Place, he probably didn’t expect her to become a total psycho. But she definitely wasn’t responsible enough to be left around all those potential murder weapons.

On August 1, 2022, 18-year-old Aurora Dahl went for a run in Michigan that she barely survived. The next day, someone killed Patrick Ernst in his Wisconsin home. Another murder down in Alabama that took the life of Dwight Dixon would link the same suspect to all three cases.

Also, I’m sorry to the town of Flomaton, Alabama, for reasons that will become obvious.

Tillie Klimek has many nicknames, among them “The Black Widow of Chicago,” “The High Priestess of the Bluebeard Clique,” and—my favorite—“The Premonition Poisoner.” She was rumored to be a psychic, and said to have poisoned as many as 20 people, cementing her name as one of the merry murderesses of 1920s Chicago.
