Summary

Betty Neumar was married five times and all of her husbands died. Some of the deaths were suspicious but police had a very hard time putting together the evidence to charge Betty with any of them. That changed in 2008 when Betty was charged with hiring a hitman to murder her fourth husband Harold Gentry in 1986. It took authorities 22 years to put it together, and after she was charged, police reopened the deaths of some of her other husbands.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Betty Neumar who the papers dubbed "The Black Widow Granny." Was Betty a monster who killed husband after husband to get her hands on their life insurance money? Or, was she a person who had the worst luck of anyone who ever lived? By the time she was arrested, Betty was in very poor health, and it was a race against time to get her into court.
