JOLLY JANE TOPPAN: AMERICA'S FIRST FEMALE SERIAL KILLER
It was the Hearst newspaper story of the new century in 1902. Everybody loved Jolly Jane Toppan- the loving, caring nurse- until her patients, friends, enemies, and relatives started dropping like flies. When they finally caught up with her, she copped the insanity plea, and told the whole story, admitting to at least 31 deaths she had caused. But many believed she had done away with 100 souls in her 5 years of killing. Catch all our episodes and podcasts at www.bestof1001stories.com.
