"Comely widow seeking wealthy gentleman to combine fortunes." La Porte, Indiana late 1800’s Belle Gunness was looking for love, wealth, security, and a good man to feed to her hogs. Well, the times were prosperous for Belle and she was sent not merely one suitor, but over 40. Many were never seen or heard from again and if you ask the widow, well, they never came to her farm. Kick back this week with your adult beverage (your going to need it) and listen as Chelsea unwinds the tale of the six foot tall, two hundred pound Norwegian-American killer, Belle Gunness cast her web far and wide.

Her life was one of endless tragedy. Everyone she relied on turned against her, ultimately dedicating her life to one filled with crime and prostitution from the ripe age of 15.
