The shocking, true story of Belle Gunness

Born in Selbu, Norway, Belle Gunness emigrated to the U.S. in 1881 to pursue the American Dream. But behind the facade of a respectable, God-fearing woman, she orchestrated crimes that would shock the nation. Belle lured victims to her farm, where they met a gruesome fate.

In 1908, her farm in La Porte burned to the ground. In the ruins of the building, authorities found the body of a headless woman and her three young children.

America was divided. Did she really die in the fire, as the sheriff proclaimed? Or did she vanish—escaping with her bloodstained fortune?
