Hey, I'm Steph and this is not today.

Hello and welcome. Before I jump into our case today, I wanted to let you know that bonus

episode number 51 is out now over on our Patreon. Alex and I are talking about the 1993

Kamar-Dabin incident, which involved the mysterious and violent deaths of six Soviet hikers in

Siberia's Kamar-Dobbin

mountain range, with one survivor, Valentina Udichenko. This is an extremely strange case

and has been compared to the Diatlov Pass incident, so if you want to hear about that case

or 50 other bonus episodes, head to patreon.com slash not today podcast. But without further ado, let's get

into our story of the day. This case contains graphic details that may be distressing to some.

Listener discretion is advised. Today, I'm going to be telling you about one of the most famous

Black Widow serial killers of all time. The Black Widow spider is the most venomous spider found in the

US. However, it's not their level of poison that inspired the title Black Widow murderer. Instead,

it's because on occasion, these female spiders will eat their male counterparts after mating.

A Black Widow serial killer is a female murderer who kills multiple partners,

such as husbands, lovers, or family members, over an extended period, typically driven by

financial gain. This type of killer often uses covert, methodical, and quiet methods like

poisoning, rather than violent, physical confrontation. Duty Buonoano's main method of murder

was poison, but as time went on, she resorted to much more violent methods. And ultimately,

her criminal career resulted in her becoming the first woman executed in Florida in 150 years,

and the first to die in the state's electric chair. But now that we know

how this case ends, why don't we take it all the way back to the beginning and see how she got there?

Judy Buonoano was born Judas Anna Lou Welty on April 4, 1943 in Quana, Texas. Her mother passed away
