I have seen this case on Dateline, and I am still shocked on how the police plus the prosecution just ignored the real facts. They all were determined to railroad the husband Russ straight into prison without passing Go or collecting two hundred dollars. I bet to this day they all claim they didn't make any mistakes. Just gross. Excellent information on the case. It had to be hard to collect all of Pam's lies in one place. I hope she enjoys prison. Hopefully she is housed with Bertha, who enjoys slapping her around daily....more

Belle Gunness, aka Lady Bluebeard, was a serial killer long before the term was ever known. Between 1902-1908, she lured unsuspecting men to her farm Belle Gunness, aka Lady Bluebeard, was a serial killer long before the term was ever known. Between 1902-1908, she lured unsuspecting men to her farm in Indiana. Some worked for her, some came under the guise of pending marriage. One by one, they disappeared, never to be heard from again. When her "murder farm" was discovered, to everyone's horror, they found the men in pieces. Not only had she poisoned her prey, she butchered them.
Belle is fascinating. There doesn't seem to be anything in her past that drove her to kill. Maybe she just got tired of being treated as a second class citizen, as a woman. She probably cut the bodies up because it was easier to transport them outside to bury. They would be too heavy for her to move as whole. Very good read!

She stated she was tired of her children and wanted it to be over. Julie claimed her maniac depression made her do it later on in court, which I don't buy at all. I have read other books by Diane Fanning that are much better than this one. The first half is just filler information you can live without. I have more questions now than answers, as I didn't get many in the book. I would skip this read and find a better one on this case.
Linda Bergstrom thought she had the perfect marriage. They loved each other and planned to start a family. Then James Bergstrom ripped the mask off anLinda Bergstrom thought she had the perfect marriage. They loved each other and planned to start a family. Then James Bergstrom ripped the mask off and showed his wife who he really was. Abusive, violent, angry outbursts were now commonplace. Then James starts disappearing. While she is glad to get a break from the abuse, she is starting to suspect what James is doing in his spare time. After they move to Texas she finds James secret stash of duct tape, a ski mask, and handcuffs. No one believes Linda, not even the police. Until they can no longer deny the truth of what James is.
Yeah everybody but the victims sucked in this case. James for obvious reasons. The police for letting him keep on raping women. Not even checking to see if Linda's claims were true from the start. Linda for staying with someone she suspected of committing crimes against women. The Navy for not investigating either.

If you are expecting a boring science book, then skip this one.
