Summary
Hear the shocking details of her crimes, including the mysterious 1971 death of Air Force Sgt. James Goodyear, the suspicious demise of boyfriend Bobby Joe Morris in 1978, and the tragic 1980 canoe “accident” that claimed her son Michael’s life. Jim explores the investigation that finally exposed her in the 1980s, leading to her 1998 execution as the first woman put to death in Florida’s electric chair since 1848. Join us for expert insights, survivor accounts, and a deep dive into the psychology of a remorseless killer who nearly got away with it all. Listener discretion advised—this one’s as toxic as arsenic itself.
