Who's tired of MEN getting all the attention for murdering people? We are! So, in honor of Women's Herstory Month (and, in celebration of our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY), Hannah and Katy explore three of herstory's women who killed. You'll learn about Frankie Silver, who almost got away with axe-murdering her husband and "hiding" the pieces that were left. Also, about Amelia Dyer, one of the most prolific serial killers in all of herstory (and history) who threw her tiny victims into the Thames and assumed they'd never be found. And finally, about Eva Dugan, the badass prostitute of rural Arizona, who may or may not have murdered her John, and stayed a badass bitch until her very dramatic execution. The girls are drinking champagne and red wine, and munching on chocolate cake in between stories, so grab your own celebratory snack, and settle in for this special anniversary episode!Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetaleswetellpodcastSources: https://blueridgecountry.com/archive/favorites/frankie-and-charlie-silver/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Stewart_Silverhttps://www.ncdcr.gov/blog/2013/03/05/frankie-silver-first-woman-hanged-in-north-carolinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Duganhttps://www.historicalcrimedetective.com/the-execution-of-eva-dugan/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Dyer
