Deadly Belle Gunness
April 1, 1902
In April of 1902. Belle Gunness happily married her second husband (her first mysteriously passed away), Peter Gunness and they lived happily ever after…not! Got ya, ha.
Peter’s infant from a prior marriage would suddenly die mysteriously and not too long after, Peter would discover the same fate, being crushed to death by a meat grinder that fell on his head (Gunness words, not mine).
After recieving life insurance from her two previous husbands, Belle started listing ads in the paper looking for more men to bring to her farm and totally not hurt them, she swears.
On April 28, 1908, a fire consumed the farmhouse where Belle lived. After sifting through the rubble, local authorities found multiple dead bodies, including one of a beheaded woman. The authorities were satisfied that the woman was belle and that a tragic accident had taken her life…
until the other Forty-two bodies showed up…
