On Monday, August 26th, 1893, 20-year-old Anna Wiese was brutally murdered on her way home from a friend’s house. Coined ‘Atrocious Murder in Iowa,’ this crime is incredibly hard to get to the bottom of due to multiple factors: the time period, the environment, and lack of criminal analysis.

In the 1930s, Ohio resident Anna Marie Hahn took the gateway crime of insurance fraud down a dark path of murder.

We also visit another Ohioan on death row, Dovie Dean, who shared Anna’s method of murder but not her motivation. Hear the story of both women and decide for yourself what really happened. Tea of

Eleanor Jarman was nicknamed ‘The Blonde Tigress’ after a robbery-gone-wrong in 1933. She had a string of successful robberies, until the very last one devolved into murder.
