Summary

When 54-year-old Judi Beunoano was executed by the State of Florida on March 30th of 1998, she was widely known as Florida’s Black Widow. And that’s because, over the course of 12 years, Judi had made attempts on the lives of these four innocent men: James Edgar Goodyear, Bobby Joe Morris, Michael Arthur Goodyear, and John Wesley Gentry II. Two husbands, one fiancé, and one son. No one was safe from Judi. For all of Judi’s victims, she collected - or would have collected - huge amounts of money as the beneficiary of multiple life insurance policies. Judi needed a way to pay for her lavish lifestyle. Eventually, Judi would pay the ultimate price.

When you can't quite get the angle, take hands-free selfies with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5,

You've been to plenty of backyard barbecues in your day,

but none quite like this one with a full spread of appetizers from M&M Food Market.

Hmm, it's a fine line between what goes on top of a grilled hamburger and what goes on the

0:29.8

side, and you better believe you're gonna cross it. The jalapeno popper,

0:34.7

calamari ring, and bacon wrapped everything hamburger. Yeah, now we're talking.

There's no restaurant like home with M&M Food Market.

Southern Fraud True Crime covers cases that are not suitable for young listeners,

You know the old saying that poison is a woman's weapon? That comes from Sherlock Holmes,

1:04.1

and so being fiction, it's often scoffed at. Over the past few years, I've seen that debunked

1:10.1

in some actual statistics, but that's because men commit 90% of the murders.

1:15.9

So if 9 out of 10 murderers are men, naturally they use more poison than women.

1:22.4

I read an interesting Washington Post article when I looked up these stats yet again. Using

1:28.7

FBI studies to break this down, journalist Ann Keating explained that you have to remove several

1:34.4

factors. First and foremost, separate the statistics of men and women. Because, for instance,

guns are the most popular weapon for both. But her Keating quote, with all guns removed,

1:47.8

women are almost four times as likely as men to use poison.

1:52.6

It is used just over 1% of killings by men and just over 4% of killings by women.

I could keep throwing statistics at you, but Arthur Conan Doyle was right when he wrote that
