Some criminals hide in the shadows. Others hide in plain sight—behind wedding rings, vows, and carefully crafted lies. Jill Coit was one of the latter, earning the chilling nickname “the serial bride.”

This episode explores the surreal and disturbing criminal biography of Jill Coit, a woman who married at least ten times—often maintaining multiple husbands simultaneously—by exploiting loopholes in marriage and divorce laws across several U.S. states. Long before her crimes turned violent, Coit perfected the art of deception through bigamy, emotional manipulation, and financial fraud.

The narrative reveals how she targeted affluent men, fabricated pregnancies, and extracted child support, gifts, and inheritance money under false pretenses. Her schemes escalated over decades, blurring the line between con artistry and calculated exploitation.

The story takes a darker turn when investigators begin connecting Coit to the suspicious deaths of two husbands: her third, William Coit, and later her eighth, Gerald Boggs. While earlier cases remained clouded by doubt, the murder of Boggs ultimately exposed a pattern too severe to ignore—leading to Coit’s conviction and life sentence.

Jill Coit’s story is not just one of crime, but of unchecked manipulation, systemic loopholes, and ambition devoid of empathy. This episode examines how a life built on lies eventually collapsed into violence—and how trust, when weaponized, can become one of the most dangerous tools of all.
