Dan has two very different tales this week. His first story shares a dark history of a woman who killed many, many people including her own children. Despite being gone from this earth for an incredibly long period of time, is it possible she still has more killing to do? Then we head to Mexico City where we explore a possible demonic possession that went incredibly wrong for someone who was only trying to help. Lynze's first story this week seems pretty straightforward but a few special details make it so creepy and unsettling. Then, in her last story, she shares a real life awful story that leads to a beautiful story with a very happy ending. It's been a while since we had a paranormal palette cleanser.

In this gripping episode, we delve into the chilling and complex story of Mary Ann Cotton, often cited as Britain's first female serial killer. Through an in-depth investigation using diverse sources such as YouTube videos, Wikipedia, true crime articles, and criminologist analyses, we unravel the life and alleged crimes of Mary Ann Cotton. Born Mary Ann Robson in 1832, her life was marked by tragedy, beginning with the death of her father in a mining accident. Her first marriage to William Mowbray set a disturbing pattern, with numerous suspicious deaths of her children and husbands, often resulting in insurance payouts and raising questions about potential arsenic poisoning—a common but hard-to-detect method at the time. Her fourth marriage to Frederick Cotton and subsequent suspicious deaths, including that of his son Charles, finally led to her arrest. Public and legal scrutiny intensified, culminating in a high-profile trial in 1873, where she was ultimately convicted of Charles' murder. Despite maintaining her innocence until her execution, her case exposed serious flaws in Victorian forensic science and life insurance practices. This episode explores not just the narrative of her alleged crimes but also the complex societal pressures and legal loopholes that may have facilitated her actions. As we dissect her motives and the broader implications of her story, we question whether Mary Ann Cotton was a villain shaped by her circumstances or the inherent darkness within her. Join us as we uncover the legacy of Mary Ann Cotton and its lasting impact on forensic science, public policy, and our understanding of human nature.00:00 Introduction to Mary Ann Cotton01:41 Mary Ann's Early Life and Tragic Childhood02:48 Suspicious Deaths and Insurance Payouts05:16 The Pattern of Poisoning07:18 The Investigation Begins09:10 The Trial of Mary Ann Cotton12:02 Mary Ann Cotton's Chilling Courtroom Behavior12:44 The Swift Verdict and Mary Ann's Reaction13:43 The Execution: A Disturbing End15:00 The Lingering Fascination with Mary Ann Cotton18:11 The Impact on Forensic Science and Public Policy22:31 Reflecting on Mary Ann Cotton's Legacy Hosted on Acast.

A PIOR MÃE DA INGLATERRA | Caso Mary Ann Cotton

We have all heard about spouses killing one another for insurance money, of black widows killing their husbands out of resentment, of deranged parents ending their own children's lives. But perhaps there is no woman as prolific at doing all this than Mary Ann Cotton. One of… if not England's first serial killer. A woman who killed around 21 people, all for greed and enjoyment. This is the Arsenic Killer Mary Ann Cotton.

Viuda negra es el nombre con el que se le conoce a las asesinas responsables de eliminar a sus maridos. En este episodio de Enigmas sin Resolver, hablaremos de algunos de los casos más famosos y sus perversas motivaciones.Belle Gunnes y Mary Ann Cotton son solo algunos ejemplos de viudas responsables de asesinar cruelmente a su cónyuge. 

In a chilling narrative of domestic deceit, James Craig, a 45-year-old dentist from Aurora, Colorado, stands accused of the calculated murder of his wife, Angela Craig. The alleged poisoner, now facing charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence, reportedly used cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient typically found in eyedrops, to fatally poison his spouse. However, Craig's story is not unique - many other individuals have fallen into the dark abyss of using poison as a tool for murder. Let's explore these sinister cases and the eerily similar characteristics that these offenders share.   James Craig's alleged modus operandi was meticulously planned and alarmingly cold-blooded. His wife's protein shakes were reportedly the vehicle of poison, laced with lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline. The disturbing internet search history on Craig's office computer, queries such as "Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy," paints a macabre picture of premeditated murder.   This pattern of methodical planning and deception is a common thread among poisoners. Notoriously, British doctor Harold Shipman, dubbed "Dr. Death," used his trusted position to administer fatal doses of diamorphine to his patients under the guise of routine treatment. Similarly, Mary Ann Cotton, a 19th-century Englishwoman, allegedly poisoned up to 21 people, including her own children, using arsenic.   Another characteristic prevalent among these offenders is their superficial charm and the ability to maintain a façade of normalcy. Before his arrest, James Craig was a respected dentist and a family man in his local community. This ability to lead a seemingly 'normal' life while harboring dark secrets is a shared trait among many poisoners. For instance, the affable and charismatic persona of America's "Auntie Poldi," a.k.a. Nannie Doss, concealed her deadly intentions, leading to the demise of multiple husbands.   Financial motivations or the desire for freedom often underpin these horrific acts. Craig's failing dental practice and numerous debts hint at possible financial incentives behind his wife's murder. This echoes the case of Stacey Castor, who poisoned her two husbands for life insurance payouts.   The subtle yet potent nature of poison and the ability to administer it surreptitiously draw these individuals towards such a heinous crime. However, the detailed forensics of the modern era, coupled with diligent investigative work, often bring these plots to light, as in Craig's case.   As we delve into the mind of James Craig and his counterparts, we find a complex interplay of cunning planning, charming deception, and disturbing motivations. Unraveling these characteristics, we glimpse the shadowy figure of the poisoner, a character whose actions leave a trail of heartbreak and loss in their wake. The true tragedy, however, remains the innocent lives ruthlessly extinguished, and the shattered families left to grapple with their grief.   Remember, if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic issues, help is always available.

Most of us remember the nursery rhyme “Do you know the Muffin Man” from childhood or its appearance in Shrek movies.  However, is there truth to the claim that the song references the first documented serial killer in London as opposed to some nice gentleman that made baked goods?  We discuss the truth behind the origin of the song and the real first documented serial killer in London history.

Mary Ann Cotton was on the scene before Jack the Ripper, and she was worse! She would use arsenic to poison and kill her husbands and children in order to have a life she loved. But what drove her to this and how could she do this to her own children? Join us as we delve deep into the dark story of Mary Ann Cotton.

Mary Ann would go on to kill many of her own children, her husbands, lovers and other family. All to gain more money and power.  Although she would go undetected for many years, her own arrogance would be her undoing.

Ep. 85 We don't hear as much about ladies when it comes to serial murder crimes. In the battle of the sexes, the men are taking the cake on this one. However, there is a method of murder that women tend to gravitate towards more than men. POISON! In today's episode, you'll discover that women poisoners generally kill their family members for money (one said it was for "love") while others are just purely evil and will attack the most vulnerable in the population solely for money.

Lucy Worsley investigates the crimes of Victorian women from a contemporary, feminist perspective. This time, Lucy visits County Durham in North East England, to reinvestigate the woman known as Britain's first female serial killer. Mary Ann Cotton was accused of murdering her stepson in 1872, after telling the local grocer that she was sure her stepson will die soon. When her stepson died a few days later, the police were called in. Following a rushed post-mortem and inquest, Cotton seemed to have got away with it - his death was declared a case of natural causes. But more tests and a second post mortem revealed that her stepson had been poisoned. Mary Ann Cotton was arrested, put on trial, and sentenced to be hanged. She maintained her innocence right up until she was led to the gallows. Although convicted of one murder, historians now believe that Mary Ann Cotton killed up to 21 people. Lucy visits Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, to see the unsuspecting murder weapon, and Cotton's former home in West Auckland, to see where she last lived. Alexandra Wilson, an author and barrister who has practiced in both family and criminal law, talks Lucy through the legal implications of the case, including whether she would represent Cotton today. Lucy asks if Mary Ann Cotton was a cold and calculated killer, or a desperate and vulnerable mother in need of an income from insurance payouts. Historian Rosalind Crone puts the story into the context of the Victorian era. Was Mary Ann Cotton just trying to better herself? And why was it so easy for her to remain undetected for so long? This is a case that highlights the domestic role of women and how they could, theoretically, get away with murder. Producer: Hannah Fisher Readers: Clare Corbett and Jonathan Keeble Sound Design: Chris Maclean A StoryHunter production for BBC Radio 4

In this final episode of Lady Killers, Lucy Worsley and Dr Rosalind Crone look back and discuss the last four cases and the issues and themes they share. Together they re-examine two of Britain's most notorious serial killers, Amelia Dyer who's thought to have killed hundreds of babies and children and Mary Ann Cotton who murdered three of her husbands and numerous children and step-children. Over in the United States they look back at Hannah Mary Tabbs, who killed her lover and back in London delve into the sad case of Esther Lack, the mother who murdered three of her own children. Lucy and Ros dig deeper into the social issues and circumstances that helped create these murderesses. They look back at an era when newspapers were booming and examine the part the press played in shaping the stories of these women and how they were presented to a scandal hungry public. With that in mind they chat through the new discoveries sweeping through society in terms of toxicology and new understandings around mental health. Finally they scrutinise all eight cases and ask, what has changed today that could have made a difference? Producer: Alex Baxter Sound design: Chris Maclean A StoryHunter production for BBC Radio 4

There's a common belief that all mothers are inherently good. But these two women have something to say about that misconception. Amelia Dyer ran a business where the more kids she killed, the more money she made. Mary Ann Cotton found that it was hard to support all the extra mouths to feed as a working woman, so she poisoned her family. And for years, authorities were none the wiser.

Mary Ann Cotton is considered by many to be England's first female serial killer, with allegations that she used arsenic to poison over twenty people, including her children, mother and husbands in the 1850s, 60s and 70s. But was she really a heartless killer who preyed upon those in her care for money to buy the expensive dresses she loved so much?My guest, Martin Connolly, is author of "Mary Ann Cotton: Dark Angel: Britains First Female Serial Killer." He says the answer isn't as cut and dry as many have come to believe it is, and shares his thoughts with us on this latest episode of Most Notorious.
