Summary
In March 2013, thirty-year-old Joanne Dennehy went on a violent ten-day rampage in the UK - murdering three men and severely wounding two others in vicious and random attacks. She had a driver and a hostage - YES, A HOSTAGE - as witnesses. She received a "whole life sentence" for her crimes, being only the fifth woman in the history of the country to receive such a punishment. So WHAT ON EARTH drove her to commit these crimes? And what explains her extremely bizarre behavior once she was arrested? We're....not really sure. But we're gonna scream our way through this one, and we'd love for you to join us.
