In this hard-hitting episode of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, we welcome Chris Gunness, former Director of Communications and Advocacy for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), to discuss Israel's controversial ban on UNRWA and its far-reaching consequences for both Palestinians and Israelis. With the Knesset's legislation poised to expel UNRWA from Jerusalem and restrict its humanitarian operations, the episode delves into the grave repercussions of this move, including its impact on over 63,000 Palestinian refugees in East Jerusalem and the broader implications for regional stability. Gunness breaks down how this decision not only undermines UNRWA's vital services, such as education, healthcare, and food aid, but also sets the stage for the de facto annexation of Jerusalem in violation of international law, as highlighted by the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) recent ruling. Tune in for a compelling discussion that unpacks the complex layers of this issue and why it's not only a humanitarian crisis but also a political and moral one that could harm not only Palestinians but also Israel itself. We will discuss Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem in the course of this conversation and Chris will answer questions about some of the attacks that have been made on UNRWA in the past year. This is a must-listen episode for those seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between international law, humanitarian aid, and the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine. Don't miss it!

Today we start a WILD two-parter on what can essentially breakdown to "missed connections gone horribly wrong - for the men". Belle Guinness is our topic today, a serial killer of the female persuasion. Originally from Norway, Belle emigrated to the US and began "operating " in Chicago, falling in love with butchery, and then taking things too far. image credit: Wikipedia Commons. link: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Belle+gunness+&title=Special:MediaSearch&type=image
Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the case of Belle Gunness, a Norwegian immigrant who arrived in America in the late 1800s. Known as “The Black Widow,” Belle found financial stability through multiple marriages...but the men she entrapped met gruesome ends, with their remains discovered buried on her property. The true extent of Belle Gunness' crimes remains unknown, but it is believed that she killed at least fourteen people, including her own children and several suitors. After her crimes were discovered, Gunness disappeared without a trace. Many suspect she faked her own death and lived off her victims' money.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Chris Gunness demands the UK immediately restores all funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency which provides essential aid to Palestinians in Gaza. He also warns that third party states freezing aid to UNRWA at a time when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled it is ‘plausible' that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza may well make these states complicit in that genocide. Gunness demands the UK and other third party states call for an investigation into the killing of hundreds of UNRWA staff by Israel since 7th October 2023. Chris Gunness is an award-winning journalist who spent 23 years at the BBC as producer, correspondent, and anchor.

Chris Gunness discusses the role and mandate of UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and the challenges it faces amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. He highlights the size and scope of UNRWA's operations, providing education, healthcare, and social services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. Chris also addresses the historical context of the Palestinian refugee crisis and the failure to find a durable solution. He explores the motivations behind Israel's opposition to UNRWA and its campaign to delegitimise the organisation. The conversation delves into the impact of the information war and the desensitisation of the Israeli population to the suffering of Palestinians. The conversation then delves into the impact of the smear campaign against UNRWA, the role of media in shaping narratives, and the asymmetry in the information war. We discuss the systematic efforts to dismantle UNRWA and the consequences of its defunding. The conversation also explores the enduring impact of the recent events in Gaza on geopolitics and the potential for a just and durable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Keywords UNRWA, Palestine, refugees, Gaza, genocide, humanitarian, Israel, mandate, education, healthcare, social services, history, right of return, durable solution, occupation, genocide, asymmetry, information war, desensitisation, UNRWA, smear campaign, media, information war, defunding, humanitarian organisations, Gaza, geopolitics, Israeli-Palestinian conflict Key Takeaways • UNRWA is a massive organisation that provides education, healthcare, and social services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. • The Palestinian refugee crisis is a result of the 1948 Middle East War and the failure to find a durable solution, including the right of return for refugees. • Israel opposes UNRWA and seeks to delegitimise the organisation due to its fear of a demographic shift and the potential loss of a Jewish majority. • The information war and asymmetry in power contribute to the desensitisation of the Israeli population to the suffering of Palestinians. • The international community must read and understand the history and context of the conflict to challenge false narratives and work towards a just and lasting solution. The smear campaign against UNRWA and the defunding of humanitarian organisations have had a significant impact on their operations and reputation. • The asymmetry in the information war, with right-wing Zionists dominating the narrative, has hindered the dissemination of accurate information. • The recent events in Gaza have further damaged the prospects for a just and durable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. • The enduring impact of the events in Gaza includes a loss of faith in international law and a potential increase in regional instability. • There is a need for independent investigations and accountability for the crimes committed during the recent conflict.
The brothers interview Chris Gunness (@MyanmarAProject), former chief spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), about journalistic coverage and distortion, the shaping of representation of Palestine, the work of the Agency, the moral responsibility of those funding it, and how calumnies spread by Zionist organizations about its workers provided a pretext for Western countries to cut their support.

On April 28th, 1908, news of the Gunness home having gone up in flames spread quickly through LaPorte, Indiana. Some recalled the dire cries of warning coming from the farm's owner, Belle Gunness, that her farmhand had threatened to burn the home down with her and her children inside, and it seemed like he had finally acted on it. Four bodies were found in the wreckage of the home, but upon closer inspection, a more macabre picture started to take shape. Although there's no real way of knowing how many fell by her hands, she's estimated to have killed 28 people throughout her life and gotten away with it... by faking her own death?

Dann stellt sie ihr Vorgehen um und lockt einsame Herzen mit dem Versprechen der Heirat zu sich, um sie zu ermorden und berauben. Als ihr kriminelles Kartenhaus in sich zusammenstürzen droht, bricht erneut ein Feuer aus, das ihre Farm niederbrennt. Darin werden ihre drei Kinder und eine Frau gefunden, vermutlich Gunness.

Part 2 will take a look into the happenings on the Gunness Farm after the suspicious death of Belle's second husband Peter. Belle then successfully hired farm hands to help on her farm through a newspaper ad. Unfortunately for Belle, these hired farmhands keep suspiciously up and leaving without notice. Instead of help wanted ads, she turned to matrimonial ads for a more permanent fix. However dozens of ad respondents made plans to head to La Porte, Indiana to meet a wealthy widow and are never seen or heard from again. It is not until 1908, when a fire burns the Gunness familly farm home down to just remaining brick walls that Belle's secrets are unearthed.References & Resources:Hell's Princess by Harold Schechterhttps://www.legendsofamerica.com/belle-gunness/https://youtu.be/UDPaWql4S9Qhttps://www.biography.com/crime-figure/belle-gunnesshttps://laportecountyhistory.org/exhibits/belle-gunness/
Belle Gunness immigrated to the United States in the late 1800's from Norway with big dreams of marrying well and raising a family of her own. However, when life didn't go exactly as planned, she tried to find a way to success on her own... by any means necessary. In Part 1 of this 2 Part Episode on Belle Gunness we hear of her early days in the United States and the tragic and very suspicious deaths of her first two husbands. If you think Part 1 is wild, just wait until the 2nd half of Belle's life...References & Resources:https://www.legendsofamerica.com/belle-gunness/https://youtu.be/UDPaWql4S9Qhttps://www.biography.com/crime-figure/belle-gunnesshttps://laportecountyhistory.org/exhibits/belle-gunness/Hell's Princess by Harold Schechter
Hello friends! Welcome to The Good, The Bad and The Pure Evil. On this episode we look at serial killer Belle Gunness. Well before the Criaglist Killer, Gunness placed ads for marriage in Chicago newspapers only to have those who replied disappear. It was only when her farm house in La Porte burned to the ground, that bodies were discovered. A headless corpse of a woman was found and believed to be that of Belle. But on further examination and a confession by a farm hand and former lover the possibility that Belle staged her death was accepted. She is known to have killed at leas 11 maybe more.....
Belle Gunness loved her men, but not nearly as much as she loved her money. Peek into the grisly crimes of the Indiana "Black Widow" serial killer that lured men from all over with her "triflers need not apply" classified ads. Her head is still missing to this day...but it is speculated that it may not even be her body to begin with. Commonly referred to as 'corpses in the pig pen,' this unsolved case is one of the most disturbing yet.

www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com www.patreon.com/accidentaldads Belle Sorenson Gunness was initially born as Brynhild Paulsdatter Størseth; November 11, 1859, Selbu, Norway – April 28, 1908?, Lwas a Norwegian-Americ Standing six feet tall (183 cm) and weighing over 200 pounds (91 kg), she was a massive, physically strong woman. Early years Gunness' origins are a matter of some debate. Most of her biographers state that she was born on November 11, 1859, near the lake of Selbu, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway, and christened Brynhild Paulsdatter Størset. Her parents were Paul Pedersen Størset (a stonemason) and Berit Olsdatter. She was the youngest of their eight children. They lived at Størsetgjerdet, a very small cotter's farm in Innbygda, 60 km southeast of Trondheim, the largest city in central Norway (Trøndelag). An Irish TV documentary by Anne Berit Vestby aired on September 4, 2006, tells a common, but the unverified story about Gunness' early life. The story holds that, in 1877, Gunness attended a country dance while pregnant. There she was attacked by a man who kicked her in the abdomen, causing her to miscarry the child. The man, who came from a wealthy family, was never prosecuted by the Norwegian authorities. According to people who knew her, her personality changed substantially. The man who attacked her died shortly afterward. His cause of death was said to be stomach cancer. Growing up in poverty, Gunness took to milking and herding cattle the following year on a large, wealthy farm and served there for three years to pay for a trip across the Atlantic. Following the example of a sister, Nellie Larson, who had emigrated to America earlier, Gunness moved to the United States in 1881 and assumed a more American-style name. Initially, In Chicago, while living with her sister and brother-in-law, she worked as a domestic servant, then got a job at a butcher's shop cutting up animal carcasses until her first marriage in 1884. First Victim In 1884, Gunness married Mads Ditlev Anton Sorenson in Chicago, Illinois, where, two years later, they opened a candy store. The business was unsuccessful, and the shop mysteriously burned down within a year. They collected the insurance, which paid for another home. Some researchers tend to believe that the marriage to Sorenson produced no offspring. However, Neighbors gossiped about the babies since Belle never appeared to be pregnant. Other investigators report that the couple had four children: Caroline, Axel, Myrtle, and Lucy. Caroline and Axel died in infancy, allegedly of acute colitis. The symptoms of acute colitis — nausea, fever, diarrhea, and lower abdominal pain and cramping — are also symptoms of many forms of poisoning. Caroline's and Axel's lives were reportedly insured, and the insurance company paid. A May 7, 1908 article in The New York Times states that two children belonging to Gunness and her husband Mads Sorensen were interred in her plot in Forest Home cemetery. On June 13, 1900, Gunness and her family were counted on the United States Census in Chicago. The census recorded her as the mother of four children; only two were living: Myrtle A., 3, and Lucy B., 1. An adopted 10-year-old girl, possibly identified as Morgan Couch but later known as Jennie Olsen, was also counted in the household. Sorenson died on July 30, 1900, reportedly the only day on which two life insurance policies on him overlapped. Both policies were active simultaneously, as one would expire that day, and the other would begin. The first doctor to see him thought he was suffering from strychnine poisoning. However, the Sorensons' family doctor had been treating him for an enlarged heart, and he concluded that heart failure caused death. An autopsy was considered unnecessary because the death was not thought suspicious. Sorenson died of cerebral hemorrhage that day. Gunness explained he had come home with a headache, and she provided him with quinine powder for the pain; she later checked on him, and he was dead. She applied for the insurance money the day after her husband's funeral. Sorenson's relatives claimed Gunness had poisoned her husband to collect on the insurance. Surviving records suggest that an inquest was ordered. It is unclear, however, whether that investigation actually occurred or Sorenson's body was ever exhumed to check for arsenic, as his relatives demanded. The insurance companies awarded her $8,500 (about $299,838.51 in today's dollars), with which she bought a pig farm on the outskirts of La Porte, Indiana. Suspicion of murder In 1901, Gunness purchased a house on McClung Road. It's been reported that both the boat and carriage houses burned to the ground shortly after she acquired the property. As she was preparing to move from Chicago to LaPorte, she became re-acquainted with a recent widower, Peter Gunness, also Norwegian-born. They were married in LaPorte on April 1, 1902; just one week after the ceremony, Peter's infant daughter died (of uncertain causes) while alone in the house with Belle. In December 1902, Peter himself met with a "tragic accident.” According to Belle, he reached for his slippers next to the kitchen stove when he was scalded with brine. She later declared that part of a sausage-grinding machine fell from a high shelf, causing a fatal head injury. A year later, Peter's brother, Gust, took Peter's older daughter, Swanhilde, to Wisconsin. She is the only child to have survived living with Belle. Her husband's death netted Gunness another $3,000 (some sources say $4,000). Local people refused to believe that her husband could be so clumsy; he had run a hog farm on the property and was known to be an experienced butcher; the district coroner reviewed the case and unequivocally announced that he had been murdered. He convened a coroner's jury to look into the matter. Meanwhile, Jennie Olsen, then 14, was overheard confessing to a classmate: "My mama killed my papa. She hit him with a meat cleaver and he died. Don't tell a soul." Jennie was brought before the coroner's jury but denied having said anything. Gunness, meanwhile, convinced the coroner that she was innocent of any wrongdoing. She did not mention that she was pregnant, which would have inspired sympathy, but in May 1903, a baby boy, Phillip, joined the family. In late 1906 Belle told neighbors that her foster daughter, Jennie Olsen, had gone away to a Lutheran College in Los Angeles (some neighbors were informed that it was a finishing school for young ladies). Jennie's body would later be recovered, buried on her adoptive mother's property. Between 1903 and 1906, Belle continued to run her farm. In 1907 Gunness employed a single farm hand, Ray Lamphere, to help with chores. The Suitors Around the same time, Gunness inserted the following advertisement in the matrimonial columns of all the Chicago daily newspapers and those of other large midwestern cities: “Personal — comely widow who owns a large farm in one of the finest districts in La Porte County, Indiana, desires to make the acquaintance of a gentleman equally well provided, with view of joining fortunes. No replies by letter considered unless sender is willing to follow answer with personal visit. Triflers need not apply.” Several middle-aged men of means responded to Gunness' ads. One of her ads was answered by a Wisconsin farmhand, Henry Gurholt. After traveling to La Porte, Gurholt wrote his family, saying that he liked the farm, was in good health, and requested that they send him seed potatoes. When they failed to hear from him, the family contacted Gunness. She told them Gurholt had gone off with horse traders to Chicago. She kept his trunk and fur overcoat. Another one was John Moe, who arrived from Elbow Lake, Minnesota. He had brought more than $1,000 with him to pay off her mortgage, or so he told neighbors, whom Gunness introduced him to as her cousin. He disappeared from her farm within a week of his arrival. Although no one ever saw Moe again, a carpenter who did occasional work for Gunness observed that Moe's trunk remained in her house, along with more than a dozen others. Next came George Anderson from Tarkio, Missouri, who, like Peter Gunness and John Moe, was an immigrant from Norway. During dinner with Anderson, she raised the issue of her mortgage. Anderson agreed that he would pay the debt off if they decided to get hitched. Late that night, Anderson awoke to see her standing over him, holding a burning, almost spent candle in her hand and with a strange, sinister expression on her face. Without uttering a word, she ran from the room. Anderson fled from the house, soon taking a train to Missouri. The suitors kept coming, but none of them, except for Anderson, ever left the Gunness farm. By this time, she had begun ordering massive trunks to be delivered to her home. Hack driver Clyde Sturgis delivered many of these trunks to her from La Porte. He later remarked how the heavyset woman would lift these enormous trunks "like boxes of marshmallows,” tossing them onto her broad shoulders and carrying them into the house. She kept the shutters of her house closed day and night; farmers traveling past the dwelling at night saw her digging in the hog pen. Ole B. Budsberg, an elderly widower from Iola, Wisconsin, showed up next. He was last seen alive at the La Porte Savings Bank on April 6, 1907, when he mortgaged his Wisconsin land, signing a deed and obtaining several thousand dollars in cash. Ole B. Budsberg's sons, Oscar and Mathew Budsberg, had no idea that their father had gone off to visit Gunness. When they finally discovered his destination, they wrote to her; she promptly responded, saying she had never seen their father. Several other middle-aged men appeared and disappeared in brief visits to the Gunness farm throughout 1907. Then, in December 1907, Andrew Helgelien, a bachelor farmer from Aberdeen, South Dakota, wrote to her and Belle was all about it. The pair exchanged many letters until a letter came that overwhelmed Helgelien, written in Gunness' careful handwriting and dated January 13, 1908. This letter was later found at the Helgelien farm. It read: “To the Dearest Friend in the World: No woman in the world is happier than I am. I know that you are now to come to me and be my own. I can tell from your letters that you are the man I want. It does not take one long to tell when to like a person, and you I like better than anyone in the world, I know. Think how we will enjoy each other's company. You, the sweetest man in the whole world. We will be all alone with each other. Can you conceive of anything nicer? I think of you constantly. When I hear your name mentioned, and this is when one of the dear children speaks of you, or I hear myself humming it with the words of an old love song, it is beautiful music to my ears. My heart beats in wild rapture for you, My Andrew, I love you. Come prepared to stay forever.” Yikes…. In response to her letter, Helgelien flew to her side in January 1908. He arrived with a check for $2,900, the entire savings he had drawn from his local bank. A few days after Helgelien arrived, he and Gunness appeared at the Savings Bank in La Porte and deposited the check. Helgelien vanished a few days later, but Gunness appeared at the Savings Bank to make a $500 deposit and another deposit of $700 in the State Bank. At this time, she started to have problems with her farmhand, Ray Lamphere. In March 1908, Gunness sent several letters to a farmer and horse dealer in Topeka, Kansas named Lon Townsend, inviting him to visit her; he decided to put off the visit until spring and thus did not see her before a fire at her farm. Gunness was also in correspondence with a man from Arkansas and sent him a letter dated May 4, 1908. He would have visited her, but didn't because of the fire at her farm. Gunness allegedly promised marriage to a suitor Bert Albert, which did not go through because of his lack of wealth. Turning Point The hired hand Ray Lamphere was deeply in love with Gunness; he performed any chore for her, no matter how gruesome. He became jealous of the many men who arrived to court his employer and began making scenes. She fired him on February 3, 1908. Shortly after dispensing with Lamphere, she presented herself at the La Porte courthouse. She declared that her former employee was not in his right mind and was a menace to the public. She somehow convinced local authorities to hold a sanity hearing. Lamphere was pronounced sane and released. Gunness was back a few days later to complain to the sheriff that Lamphere had visited her farm and argued with her. She contended that he threatened her family and had Lamphere arrested for trespassing. Lamphere returned again and again to see her, but she told him to kick rocks each time. Lamphere made thinly disguised threats. Like on one occasion, he confided to farmer William Slater, "Helgelien won't bother me no more. We fixed him for keeps." Helgelien had long since disappeared from the area, or so it was believed. However, his brother, Asle Helgelien, was disturbed when Andrew failed to return home and he wrote to Belle in Indiana, asking her about his sibling's whereabouts. Gunness wrote back, telling Asle Helgelien that his brother was not at her farm and probably went to Norway to visit relatives. Asle Helgelien said he did not believe his brother would do that. He believed his brother was still in the La Porte area, the last place he was seen or heard from. Gunness, being the ballsy bitch she was, told him that if he wanted to come and look for his brother, she would help conduct a search, but she cautioned him that searching for missing persons was an expensive proposition. If she were to be involved in such a manhunt, she stated, Asle Helgelien should be prepared to pay her for her efforts. Asle Helgelien did come to La Porte, but not until May. Ray Lamphere represented an unresolved danger to Belle, and now Asle Helgelien was making inquiries that could very well send her to the gallows. She told a lawyer in La Porte, M.E. Leliter, that she feared for her life and her children's. Ray Lamphere, she said, had threatened to kill her and burn her house down. She wanted to make out a will just in case Lamphere followed through with his threats. Leliter, the attorney, complied and drew up her will. She left her entire estate to her children and left Leliter's office. She went to one of the La Porte banks holding the mortgage for her property and, not suspiciously at all, paid it off. However, she did not go to the police to tell them about Lamphere's allegedly life-threatening conduct. The reason for this, most historical, true crime nerds agree, was that there hadn't been any threats; she was merely setting the stage for her own arson. Joe Maxson, who had been hired to replace Ray Lamphere in February 1908, awoke in the early hours of April 28, 1908, smelling smoke in his room on the second floor of the Gunness house. He opened the hall door to a shit load of flames. Maxson screamed Gunness' name and those of her children but got no response. He slammed the door and then, in his tighty whiteys, leaped from the second-story window of his room, barely surviving the fire that was closing in around him. He raced to town to get help, but by the time the old-fashioned hook and ladder firetruck arrived at the farm at early dawn, the farmhouse was a big ol' pile of smoking ruins. Four bodies were found inside the house. One of the bodies was that of a woman who could not immediately be identified as Gunness, since she had been decapitated. The head was never found. The bodies of her children were found still in their beds. County Sheriff Smutzer had somehow heard about Lamphere's alleged threats, so he took one look at the carnage and quickly went after the former handyman. Attorney Leliter came forward to recount his tale about Gunness' will and how she feared Lamphere would kill her and her family and, coincidentally, burn her house down. Lamphere reeeeeally didn't help his own cause. The moment Sheriff Smutzer confronted him and before the lawman uttered a word, Lamphere exclaimed, "Did Widow Gunness and the kids get out all right?" He was then told about the fire, but he denied having anything to do with it, claiming that he was not near the farm when the blaze occurred. A young lil dude, John Solyem, was brought forward. He said he was watching the Gunness place and saw Lamphere running down the road from the Gunness house just before the structure erupted in flames. Lamphere snorted to the boy: "You wouldn't look me in the eye and say that!" "Yes, I will,” replied Solyem. "You found me hiding behind the bushes and you told me you'd kill me if I didn't get out of there." Lamphere was arrested and charged with murder and arson. Then scores of investigators, sheriff's deputies, coroner's men, and many volunteers began to search the ruins for evidence. The headless woman's body was a massive concern to La Porte residents. C. Christofferson, a neighboring farmer, looked at the charred remains of this body and said that it was not the remains of Belle Gunness. As did another farmer, L. Nicholson, and so did Mrs. Austin Cutler, an old friend of Gunness. More of Gunness' old friends, Mrs. May Olander and Mr. Sigward Olsen, arrived from Chicago. They examined the remains of the headless woman and said it was't Belle Gunness. Doctors then measured the remains and, making allowances for the body's missing neck and head, stated the corpse was that of a woman who stood five feet three inches tall and weighed no more than 150 pounds. Friends and neighbors, as well as the La Porte dressmakers who made her dresses and other garments, swore that Gunness was taller than 5'8" and weighed between 180 and 200 pounds. Remember, she was a large woman who could toss around clothing trunks like they were frisbees. Detailed measurements of the body were compared with those on file with several La Porte stores where she purchased her apparel. When the two sets of measurements were compared, the authorities concluded that the headless woman could not possibly have been Belle Gunness, even when the ravages of the fire on the body were considered. (The flesh was severely burned but intact). Moreover, Dr. J. Meyers examined the internal organs of the dead woman. He sent the stomach contents of the victims to a pathologist in Chicago, who reported months later that the organs contained lethal doses of (dun dun dunnnn)...strychnine. Gunness' dentist, Dr. Ira P. Norton, said that if the teeth/dental work of the headless corpse had been located, he could definitely ascertain if it was, for sure, Belle Gunness. Enter Louis "Klondike" Schultz, a former miner, who was hired to build a sluice and begin sifting the debris (as more bodies were unearthed, the sluice was used to isolate human remains on a larger scale). What the flying FUCK is a sluice you may be asking your obviously intelligent self. Well, it's a sliding gate or other devices for controlling the flow of water, especially one in a locked gate. On May 19, 1908, a piece of bridgework was found consisting of two human, canine teeth, their roots still attached, porcelain teeth and gold crown work in between. Norton, her dentists, identified them as work done for Gunness. As a result, Coroner Charles Mack officially concluded that the adult female body discovered in the burned debris was Belle Gunness. Even though NOTHING ELSE LINES UP. Asle Helgelien arrived in La Porte and told Sheriff Smutzer that he believed his brother had met with foul play at Gunness' hands. Then, the new farmhand, Joe Maxson came forward with information that could not be ignored: He told the Sheriff that Gunness had ordered him to bring loads of dirt by wheelbarrow to a large area surrounded by a high wire fence where the hogs were fed. Maxson said that there were many deep depressions in the ground that had been covered by dirt. These filled-in holes, Gunness had told Maxson, were nothing but garbage. She wanted the ground made level, so he filled in the depressions. Sheriff Smutzer took a dozen men back to the farm and began to dig. On May 3, 1908, the diggers unearthed the body of Belle's stepdaughter, Jennie Olson (who vanished in December 1906). Then they found the small bodies of two unidentified children. Subsequently, the body of Andrew Helgelien was unearthed (his overcoat was found to be worn by Ray Lamphere). As days progressed and the gruesome work continued, one body after another was discovered in Gunness' hog pen: So, let's run through these poor, unfortunate souls. Ole B. Budsberg of Iola, Wisconsin, (vanished May 1907); Thomas Lindboe, who had left Chicago and had gone to work as a hired man for Gunness three years earlier; Henry Gurholdt of Scandinavia, Wisconsin, who had gone to wed her a year earlier, taking $1,500 to her; a watch corresponding to one belonging to Gurholdt was found with a body; Olaf Svenherud, from Chicago; John Moe of Elbow Lake, Minnesota; his watch was found in Lamphere's possession; Olaf Lindbloom, age 35 from Wisconsin. Reports of other possible victims began to come in: William Mingay, a coachman of New York City, who had left that city on April 1, 1904; Herman Konitzer of Chicago who disappeared in January 1906; Charles Edman of New Carlisle, Indiana; George Berry of Tuscola, Illinois; Christie Hilkven of Dovre, Barron County, Wisconsin, who sold his farm and came to La Porte in 1906; Chares Neiburg, a 28-year-old Scandinavian immigrant who lived in Philadelphia, told friends that he was going to visit Gunness in June 1906 and never came back — he had been working for a saloon keeper and took $500 with him; John H. McJunkin of Coraopolis (near Pittsburgh) left his wife in December 1906 after corresponding with a La Porte woman; Olaf Jensen, a Norwegian immigrant of Carroll, Indiana, wrote his relatives in 1906 he was going to marry a wealthy widow at La Porte; Henry Bizge of La Porte who disappeared June 1906 and his hired man named Edward Canary of Pink Lake Ill who also vanished 1906; Bert Chase of Mishawaka, Indiana sold his butcher shop and told friends of a wealthy widow and that he was going to look her up; his brother received a telegram supposedly from Aberdeen, South Dakota claiming Bert had been killed in a train wreck; his brother investigated and found the telegram was fictitious; Tonnes Peterson Lien of Rushford, Minnesota, is alleged to have disappeared April 2, 1907; A gold ring marked "S.B. May 28, 1907" was found in the ruins; A hired man named George Bradley of Tuscola, Illinois is alleged to have gone to La Porte to meet a widow and three children in October 1907; T.J. Tiefland of Minneapolis is alleged to have come to see Gunness in 1907; Frank Riedinger a farmer of Waukesha, Wisconsin, came to Indiana in 1907 to marry and never returned; Emil Tell, a Swede from Kansas City, Missouri, is alleged to have gone in 1907 to La Porte; Lee Porter of Bartonville, Oklahoma separated from his wife and told his brother he was going to marry a wealthy widow at La Porte; John E. Hunter left Duquesne, Pennsylvania, on November 25, 1907 after telling his daughters he was going to marry a wealthy widow in Northern Indiana. Two other Pennsylvanians — George Williams of Wapawallopen and Ludwig Stoll of Mount Yeager — also left their homes to marry in the West. Abraham Phillips, a railway man of Burlington, West Virginia, left in the winter of 1907 to go to Northern Indiana and marry a rich widow — a railway watch was found in the debris of the house. Benjamin Carling of Chicago, Illinois, was last seen by his wife in 1907 after telling her that he was going to La Porte to secure an investment with a wealthy widow; he brought $1,000 from an insurance company and borrowed money from several investors as well; in June 1908 his widow was able to identify his remains from La Porte's Pauper's cemetery by the contour of his skull and three missing teeth; $1000 at that time is approximately $31,522.45 today. Aug. Gunderson of Green Lake, Wisconsin; Ole Oleson of Battle Creek, Michigan; Lindner Nikkelsen of Huron, South Dakota; Andrew Anderson of Lawrence, Kansas; Johann Sorensen of St. Joseph, Missouri; A possible victim was a man named Hinkley; Reported unnamed victims were: a daughter of Mrs. H. Whitzer of Toledo, Ohio, who had attended Indiana University near La Porte in 1902; an unknown man and woman are alleged to have disappeared in September 1906, the same night Jennie Olson went missing. Gunness claimed they were a Los Angeles "professor" and his wife who had taken Jennie to California; a brother of Miss Jennie Graham of Waukesha, Wisconsin, who had left her to marry a rich widow in La Porte but vanished; a hired man from Ohio age 50 name unknown is alleged to have disappeared and Gunness became the "heir" to his horse and buggy; an unnamed man from Montana told people at a resort he was going to sell Gunness his horse and buggy, which were found with several other horses and buggies at the farm. Most of the remains found on the property could not be identified. Because of the crude recovery methods, the number of individuals unearthed on the Gunness farm is unknown but is believed to be approximately twelve. On May 19, 1908, the remains of approximately seven unknown victims were buried in two coffins in unmarked graves in the pauper's section of LaPorte's Pine Lake Cemetery. Andrew Helgelien and Jennie Olson are buried in La Porte's Patton Cemetery, near Peter Gunness. So, here's the even MORE fucked up part… if it's possible. Ray Lamphere was arrested on May 22, 1908, and tried for murder and arson. He denied the charges of arson and murder that were filed against him. His defense hinged on the assertion that the body was not that of that big ol' girl, Belle Gunness. Lamphere's lawyer, Wirt Worden, developed evidence that contradicted Norton's identification of the teeth and bridgework. A local jeweler testified that though the gold in the bridgework had emerged from the fire almost undamaged, the fierce heat of the fire had melted the gold plating on several watches and items of gold jewelry. Local doctors replicated the fire conditions by attaching a similar dental bridgework to a human jawbone and placing it in a blacksmith's forge. The natural teeth crumbled and disintegrated; the porcelain teeth came out pocked and pitted, and the gold parts melted (both the artificial elements were damaged to a greater degree than those in the bridgework offered as evidence of Gunness' identity). The hired hand Joe Maxson and another man also testified that they'd seen "Klondike" Schultz take the bridgework out of his pocket and plant it just before it was "discovered.” Lamphere was found guilty of arson but acquitted of murder. On November 26, 1908, he was sentenced to 20 years in State Prison (in Michigan City). He died of tuberculosis the next year on December 30, 1909. On January 14, 1910, the Rev. E. A. Schell came forward with a confession that Lamphere was said to have made to him while the clergyman was comforting the dying man. In it, Lamphere revealed Gunness' crimes and swore that she was still alive. Lamphere had stated to the Reverend Schell and a fellow convict, Harry Meyers, shortly before his death that he had not murdered anyone but had helped Gunness bury many of her victims. When a victim arrived, she made him comfortable, charming him and cooking a large meal. She then drugged his coffee, and when the man was all fucked up, she split his head with a meat chopper. Sometimes she would simply wait for the suitor to go to bed and then enter the bedroom by candlelight and chloroform the hapless sap. A powerful woman, Gunness would then carry the body to the basement, place it on a table, and dissect it. She then bundled the remains and buried these in the hog pen and on the grounds around the house. Thanks to her second husband's instruction, Peter Gunness, the butcher, Belle had become an expert at dissection. To save time, she sometimes poisoned her victims' coffee with strychnine. (Um… the first husband) She also varied her disposal methods, sometimes dumping the corpse into the hog-scalding vat and covering the remains with quicklime. Lamphere even stated that if Belle was overly tired after murdering one of her victims, she merely chopped up the remains and, in the middle of the night, stepped into her hog pen and fed the remains to the hogs. Lamphere also cleared up the mysterious question of the headless female corpse found in Gunness's home's smoking remains. Gunness had lured this woman from Chicago on the pretense of hiring her as a housekeeper only days before she decided to make her permanent escape from La Porte. Gunness, according to Lamphere, had drugged the woman, then bashed in her head and decapitated the body, taking the head, which had weights tied to it, to a swamp where she threw it into deep water. Then, she chloroformed her children, smothered them to death, and dragged their small bodies, along with the headless corpse, to the basement. She dressed the female corpse in her old clothing, and removed her false teeth, placing these beside the headless corpse to assure it being identified as Belle Gunness. She then torched the house and fled. Lamphere had helped her, he admitted, but she didn't take off by the road where he waited for her after the fire had been set. She had betrayed her one-time partner in crime in the end by cutting across open fields and then disappearing into the woods. Some accounts suggest that Lamphere admitted that he took her to Stillwell (a town about nine miles from La Porte) and saw her off on a train to Chicago. Lamphere said that Gunness was a rich woman, that she had murdered 42 men by his count, and maybe more, and had taken amounts from them ranging from $1,000 to $32,000. She had allegedly accumulated more than $250,000 through her murder schemes over the years—a considerable fortune for those days (about 10 million dollars, today). She had a small amount remaining in one of her savings accounts, but local banks later admitted that she had withdrawn most of her money shortly before the fire. Gunness withdrawing most of her money suggested that she was planning to evade the law. Gunness was, for several decades, allegedly seen or sighted in cities and towns throughout the United States. Friends, acquaintances, and amateur detectives apparently spotted her on the streets of Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. As late as 1931, Gunness was reported alive and living in a Mississippi town, where she supposedly owned a great deal of property and lived the life of a respected woman. Sheriff Smutzer, for more than 20 years, received an average of two reports a month. She became part of American criminal folklore, a female Sasquatch, if you will. Gunness's three children's bodies were found in the home's wreckage, but the headless adult female corpse found with them was never positively identified. Gunness' true fate is unknown; La Porte residents were divided between believing that Lamphere killed her and that she had faked her own death. In 1931, a woman known as "Esther Carlson" was arrested in Los Angeles for poisoning August Lindstrom for money. Two people who had known Gunness claimed to recognize her from photographs, but the identification was never proved. Carlson died while awaiting trial. So, what the fuck happened to “Hell's Belle”?? The body believed to be that of Belle Gunness was buried next to her first husband at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois. On November 5, 2007, with the permission of descendants of Belle's sister, the headless body was exhumed from Gunness' grave in Forest Home Cemetery by a team of forensic anthropologists and graduate students from the University of Indianapolis to learn her true identity. It was initially hoped that a sealed envelope flap on a letter found at the victim's farm would contain enough DNA to be compared to that of the body. Unfortunately, there was not enough DNA, so efforts continue to find a reliable source for comparison purposes, including the disinterment of other bodies and contact with known living relatives. As far as we know… Belle Gunness, the wicked Norwegian bitch… got away with So. Many. Murders… including her own. Movies https://deluxevideoonline.org/our-tens-list-faked-deaths-in-movies/
The hoseheads are back with baddest bitch from Norway Belle f*cking Gunness! She was dubbed lady bluebeard who killed merely for monetary gain (plus she probably enjoyed it). To outsiders, Belle Gunness might have looked like a lonely widow who lived in the American Midwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But in reality, she was a serial killer who murdered at least 14 people. And some estimate that she may have killed as many as 40 victims...

On April 28, 1908 Joe Maxson smelled smoked in Belle Gunness' home. He runs out of his bedroom calling for her and her children...no one answers him. Joe jumps from his second-story room and rushes into town. By the time he gets back to the home, the place cannot be saved. When the flames were extinguished, Belle was no where to be found. She had a history of setting houses on fire and dating men who would mysteriously go missing. Did Belle set her own house on fire or was this an act of revenge?

Okay, now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today's dark enigma… and buckle up my darlings as we bring you a story about a woman who put the black in widow as we jump into Hell Hath No Fury - The Story Of Hell's Belle Gunness Black Widow of the Midwest “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.

April 1, 1902 In April of 1902. Belle Gunness happily married her second husband (her first mysteriously passed away), Peter Gunness and they lived happily ever after…not! Got ya, ha. Peter's infant from a prior marriage would suddenly die mysteriously and not too long after, Peter would discover the same fate, being crushed to death by a meat grinder that fell on his head (Gunness words, not mine). After recieving life insurance from her two previous husbands, Belle started listing ads in the paper looking for more men to bring to her farm and totally not hurt them, she swears. On April 28, 1908, a fire consumed the farmhouse where Belle lived. After sifting through the rubble, local authorities found multiple dead bodies, including one of a beheaded woman. The authorities were satisfied that the woman was belle and that a tragic accident had taken her life… until the other 42 bodies showed up… Check out our socials for more updates!

Welcome to It Happens Everywhere. This week we talk about the 1900's serial killer, Bella Gunness.
So campers, when we left you at the end of part 1, Belle Gunness' 16 year old daughter Jennie had just gone missing, along with a revolving door of mysterious male “cousins.” She used her beautiful La Porte Indiana farm to lure bachelors to their eventual doom. It seemed like nothing could stop her. Join us for part 2 of this bizarre true story--you won't see the ending coming.
Evidence Photos GRAPHIC - https://talkmurder.com/belle-gunnessThe horrifying account of Belle Gunness is that of which nightmares are made. This Lady Bluebeard lured in her prey under the guise of a rich widow in search of a man to share her wealth and companionship with. Leaving 28 hacked up and decomposing corpses buried in her hog pen, including her own children, Gunness fled in the night, never to be seen again. Till this day no-one can definitively claim to know Belle ended up or even if she took up her murder business somewhere else.
Margaret Atwood wrote, “When we think of the past it's the beautiful things we pick out. We want to believe it was all like that.” I think that rings true. To many, the thought of the past evokes nostalgia. Some might look at a black and white photo of a poodle skirted girl sharing a milkshake with her beau and they might yearn for a simple time, but they're missing the “whites only” sign just out of frame. Human history is filled with just as much strife and injustice as we see on the news today. The killer we're discussing today is a reminder that brutality is not a modern problem, it's a human one.

Belle Gunness purportedly killed scores of victims for financial gain. After her Indiana farm burned to the ground with the bodies of the Gunness family huddled together in the basement, investigators discovered a number of disfigured and dismembered bodies buried in shallow graves on her property. Many suspect Belle staged her death and lived out her life as a wealthy woman. Listen closely because it's difficult to know if what I say is Fact or Fiction. Ready to play?
Welcome Nerdlings! We're diving deep into the story of an early American female serial killer known as Belle Gunness, a woman who's truly a monster. Belle Gunness was an early Black Widow serial killer, who lured men to her Laporte farm back in the early 1900's and would brutally murder them for their money. It' a wild ride that starts and ends with a fire and a lot more questions than answers as to what exactly happened on the Gunness farm all those years ago. Citations: Belle Gunness. (2020, June 23).

After a fire engulfed the Gunness farm, the bodies of her children were found along with a headless corpse that was named as Belle Gunness, however many believe it was not Belle and she escaped with her stolen fortune and lived on.

Historia (Social, Cultural, Literaria)¿Qué es un asesino serial? Una persona que asesina a tres o más personas (típicamente) aunque hay excepciones donde consideran a partir de 2 o 4. Lo hacen por obtener gratificación personal psicológica anormal. La psicología anormal estudia los patrones inusuales de emoción, comportamiento y pensamiento. Destacan motivaciones como: ira, emoción, ganancia financiera y búsqueda de atención. Los asesinatos ocurren con una frecuencia de mínimo un mes entre ellos Curiosamente, la mayoría de los asesinos seriales mantienen un contacto sexual con sus víctimas. Por lo general, las víctimas comparten algo en común - por ejemplo, de dónde vienen, apariencia, género, raza. Diferencias entre asesino serial, asesino en masa y asesino itinerante Asesino en masa: describe a una persona que mata a un grupo de personas al mismo tiempo en un período muy corto de tiempo y en proximidad geográfica. Asesino itinerante: también conocido como asesino excursionista, se dedica a cometer múltiples asesinatos en un corto período de tiempo pero en diferentes ubicaciones geográficas. Ejemplo: Adam Lanza - asesinó a 27 personas (mayoría niños) en una escuela de Connenicut en 2012. Asesino en serie: deja pasar un período de tiempo entre los asesinatos para estar alejado de su actividad criminal y además, éstos pueden ser en diferentes lugares. El asesino actúa solo, es decir, no tiene cómplices. Definición de un asesino serialEn Europa se comenzó a utilizar el término antes que en Estados Unidos.En Alemania el concepto fue creado por el criminólogo Erns Gennat, quien describió a Peter Kürten como "Serienmörder" (asesino serial) en su artículo "el violador de Düsseldorf" publicado en 1930.El término en inglés aparece por primera vez en un libro llamado "El significado de asesinar" de John Brophys en 1966. El término no era popular.Después fue utilizado por un agente del FBI llamado Robert Ressler. El llamó homicidio serial a este tipo de asesinatos en una plática en 1974, mismo año que se anexa el concepto a la ley.Historiadores criminólogos sugieren que los asesinos seriales han existido desde tiempos medievales, sin embargo, les llamaban hombres lobos o vampiros.Características de un asesino serial Pueden manifestar diferentes grados de enfermedades mentales o psicopatía. Marcado comportamiento antisocial Empatía y remordimiento reducido Caracter deshinibido Crean sus códigos propios Son adaptativos y pueden pasar inadvertidos Manifiestan dos o tres factores de la Tríada McDonald Ésta triada predice comportamiento violento Fascinación con escenarios que involucren fuego. Involucramiento en actividades sádicas, especialmente a una edad muy pequeña Mojar la cama después de los 12 años de edad Eran bulleados o asilados de niños o jóvenes Sufieorn algún tipo de abuso - emocional, físico o sexual - por algún miembro de su familia El Gen de asesino serialHa habido estudios recientes que revisan la posibilidad de que haya alguna anormalidad en los cromosomas de asesinos seriales los cuales fomentan éste comportamiento. Hasta la fecha, no se ha encontrado en específico una relación causal. Sin embargo, si hay ciertas correlaciones genéticas: La mayoría de los asesinos seriales son hombres y presentan un nivel de testosterona mucho más alto que el promedio. Esto puede hacer que sean más violentos. Además, presentan niveles de dopamina mucho más bajos que el promedio. La dopamina es la sustancia del cerebro que nos hace sentir placer. Entonces, necesitan realizar actividades mucho más intensas para sentir placer. Estos factores combinados con situaciones del ambiente donde se desarrollen, pudieran influenciar en un comportamiento violento y hasta de llegar a asesinar. Algunos asesinos seriales más famosos y terribles: Belle Gunness - madre de 4 hijos (dos murieron) y dueña de una tienda de dulces en 1881. Su esposo falleció en un incendio de su casa en Chicago. Después de cobrar el seguro de vida, se mudó a una granja, donde volvió a casarse. Nuevamente, el segundo esposo apareció muerto y no había evidencias de que ella fuera culpable. Publicó en periódicos su búsqueda de un tercer esposo, a lo que varios interesados fueron a la granja para no regresar jamás. En 1908, un incendio terminó por completo con la granja. Ahí se encontraron cuerpo decapitado de Gunness, aunque no estaban 100% seguros que fuera ella. Además, había muchos cuerpos enterrados, incluídos de niños y su hijos. Dr. Harold Shipman - hombre de familia que asesinó a 218 personas mientras trabajaba como médico general. Comenzó sus asesinatos en 1972 y el último, el cuál lo delató fue en el año 2000. Utilizaba diamorfina para asesinar a sus víctimas. Fue condenado a prisión de por vida y 4 años más tarde se suicidó en su celda. Históricos: Elizabeth Bathory (se bañaba en sangre de las vírgenes del pueblo), Jack The Ripper (se sospecha era un cirujano de la época que trabajaba para la realeza, asesinó a 5 prostitutas, todas en el mismo barrio, siempre tomando un órgano de la victima) 30s: Albert Fish 40s - 50s: Ed Gein (hacia objetos con piel de las personas que asesinaba) 60s: Zodiac Killer (hasta el sol de hoy no se sabe quien fue. Siempre atacaba parejas en sitios remotos, mataba a la mujer y al hombre lo dejaba vivo, pero herido, si no era por cuchillos, por balas), Charles Manson Family (asesinaron a Sharon Tate, actriz y esposa del famoso director francés Roman Polanski, en su mansión de los angeles.

In 1883 she immigrated to Chicago to live with her sister while her brother stayed in Norway. In 1884 she married Mads Albert Sorenson and they had four kids and one foster child. Her husband owned a candy store. In 1890 their house burned down and in 1895 the store burned down and they received insurance money for both. During this time two of their children died from acute colitis. Interestingly acute colitis and strychnine poisoning share some common symptoms, such as abdominal pain and this will come into play later in Gunness’ life. Her husband also died in this time period on the one day that his two life insurance policies overlapped. His family demanded an inquiry but no charges were filed. The family thought that it was strychnine poisoning but her doctor overruled them and ruled it as heart failure. With the insurance payout, Gunness bought a farm with more than 40 acres near La Porte, Indiana. She remarried Peter Gunness, who had two children. He suspected that something wasn’t right and sent his oldest daughter to live with relatives. She is the only child who survived Gunness. Peter and his younger daughter both died shortly after. After this Gunness began posting in a singles column in the local paper. Many men answered the posting. She demanded that the men sell everything they had before coming to see her. In July 1907 Gunness hired Ray Lamphere to be farm hand and began sleeping with him. He didn’t like all of her suitors but she refused to be with him because of his gambling problem. She began a long distance relationship with Andrew Helgelien from South Dakota. They wrote each other for 16 months before meeting. He arrived in January 1908 with $2839 to build a new life with her. Shortly after Gunness and Lamphere got into a fight and she kicked him off the property. She complained to the sheriff that she saw him through her windows and had him arrested and fined for trespassing. During this time Helgelien’s brother Asle began to worry about him. One of their farmhands found their letters and Asle became suspicious of her motives when he read the she asked him to withdraw all of his money and come to her. He wrote to Gunness and asked where his brother was. She claimed that he left for Chicago and speculated that he may go to Norway. Alse didn’t think that that sounded like his brother. Gunness was still worried about Lamphere and in April went to a lawyer and had a will drawn up. After the meeting, she went shopping and came home with cakes, a toy train, and two gallons of kerosene. She treated her family that evening to a large meal of meat and potatoes and spent the night sitting on the floor, playing with her children and their new toy train. The following morning her house had burned down. Four burnt bodies were found, three were children and the last was an adult female. The woman’s corpse was headless. It was assumed that the woman’s body was Gunness’. Lamphere was arrested immediately and when Alse read this in the paper he rushed to Indiana. Alse went to the sheriff’s office and the sheriff drove him to the house to search for clues. A week later and the skull of the woman’s body had yet to be found. Some assumed that Lamphere had hidden it. Since they weren’t having luck digging through the rubble Asle suggested that they look in the hog pen. There they a gunny sack Inside were two hands, two feet, and one head. Asle recognized the withered, rotten face: It was his brother. Then the men digging realized that there were dozens of slumped depressions in Gunness’s yard. As the property was searched more body parts were found. Between 14 to 40 bodies were recovered. Each body was butchered into six parts: The legs chopped at the knee, the arms hacked at the shoulder, and the head decapitated. Most of the remains could not be identified. The skulls had evidence of blunt force trauma. The bodies that were still in tact had evidence of rat poison. Gunness was nicknamed th

On an isolated farm just outside LaPorte, Indiana, some unspeakable acts took place in the early 1900s. They remained deep and deadly secrets until a package of love letters was discovered in an immigrant’s cabin in South Dakota—letters that revealed the shockingly murderous intent of a widowed farm wife named Belle Gunness.
The setting is La Porte, Indiana, and the year 1908. On the night of April 28, a farmhouse belonging to a widow named Belle Gunness burned to the ground. And when the embers cooled enough for investigators to dig through the rubble, they discovered the headless body of a woman clutching the charred remains of three children. They believed this to be Belle. But that wasn't all they discovered. They also found a number of decomposed, dismembered bodies buried on the same property, which pointed to Belle herself as the female serial killer known as Lady Bluebeard. But the truth still remains obscured, at least in part. Not only is it unclear if Gunness really died in the fire, but the six-foot-tall Norwegian widow may have staged the whole thing—and got away with it. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
(Nathan) In the quiet town of La Porte, Indiana at the beginning of the 20th century lived a widow farmer with three children. Originally from Norway, Belle Sørenson Gunness was, like many widows in the period, in search of a husband to help work her lands and provide for her family--until one night, a tragic fire revealed that all was not as it appeared. In this week's episode, we examine the grisly tale of how the outwardly unassuming Belle killed at least nine male suitors and probably two husbands, and the terrible methods that she used to evade capture.

Although the town of La Porte, Indiana has been made famous by the bizarre events that happened there over a hundred years ago, many have never heard of this woman or her series of cold and calculated murders on a pig farm. We're joined by Bruce R. Johnson, a local expert on the Belle Gunness story, along with Director/Producer of Belle Gunness: The Movie and The Gunness Mystery, Stephen Ruminski. We also chat with local librarian Mary Hedge about La Porte's unusual relationship with the Gunness case. Sword and Scale highly encourages you to support our guests.

In 1908, a fire leveled the Indiana home of Belle Gunness. Four bodies were found in the cellar, and it seemed possible that Gunnes might have escaped. When about a dozen more bodies were found, Gunness was revealed as a serial killer. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
