Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ... or one trying to inherit your farm. The term Black Widows can mean anything from deadly spiders to Marvel Superheroes, but today we are talking about real life female killers (well at least one is real). Women killing their husbands is a crime as old as marriage itself, makes us ask why the line between love and hate is truly so thin. Join us on this wicked ride as we discuss Jac's recent romantic woes, a surprising amount of arson, and why you should always use your damn blinker. And when all is said and done we will ask you, our cunning listeners, to identify which case is the true crime, and which is just a tall tale.

Trigger Warnings:

Domestic Violence, pregnancy loss, and loss of a child.

Be on the look out for 101 stolen dalmatians and throw out your fur coats because outrageous dognappings are prominent in this episode. We will focus on the nuance required for a well run ring of dog thieves and the 1969 epidemic of missing show dogs. Pull up a chair and cover your pets ears before we dive into unconventional victorian love affairs, our favorite medieval dog names, and pixel based boyfriends. And in the end we will challenge you, our clever listeners, to determine which story was the true crime and which was just a tall tale.. . .
