Summary
Get ready to deep-dive into the chilling, unbelievable true crime saga of Lyda Trueblood.
On the outside, she was a picture-perfect housewife, but behind her charm and grace lurked a very deadly woman. We're talking suspicious deaths, poisonings, a daring prison escape and a shocking trail of dead husbands that earned her a nickname straight out of a horror novel.
Was Lyda one of America's first black widow serial killers? The press certainly thought so! And you won't believe how the story of this O.G. Black Widow ends...
Lyda's life was a whirlwind of manipulation and mayhem. Tune in now and prepare to be utterly stunned with the story of the woman who truly, madly, shockingly, maybe got away with it all.
Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon.
