“Hell’s Belle” Gunness was America’s most degenerate female serial killer in history; Gunness likely killed both her husbands and all of her children. What is certain is that she murdered most of her boyfriends and her two daughters, Myrtle and Lucy. Between 1884 and 1908, the Norwegian immigrant is believed to have slain over 40 people in Chicago, Illinois and La Porte, Indiana, profiting from insurance claims and other scams, before disappearing without a trace.
