Episode 199: In all the recent photos I could find of Melissa Ann Shepard, she looks like an ordinary, little old lady. But Melissa, Millie to some, has a criminal record a mile long, including convictions for fraud, impersonation and forgery. But, she is best known for, luring men via the internet, drugging them and taking control of all aspects of their lives. Melissa also caused the death of one of her husbands in Nova Scotia, was suspected in another\u2019s death and at least two more men came close to dying.\n\nSources:\n\nMelissa Ann Shepard - Wikipedia\n\nCBC News Indepth: Melissa Ann Friedrich\n\nMelissa Friedrich | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers\n\nHRP News \u2014 High Risk Offender Notification | Halifax.ca\n\nInternet Black Widow Melissa Ann Shepard arrested in Halifax | CBC News\n\nThe internet black widow: Is this Canada\u2019s most dangerous woman? - BBC News\n\nHow a smitten man came face to face with the \u2018Internet Black Widow\u2019 - The Globe and Mail\n\nThis 80-year-old \u2018Black Widow,\u2019 who lured lonesome old men to horrible fates, is out of prison again - The Washington Post\n\nNational Film Board of Canada \u2014 Why Women Kill\n\n\u2018Internet Black Widow\u2019 Melissa Ann Weeks charged with attempted murder in N.S. | Globalnews.ca\n\n\u2018Black Widow\u2019s\u2019 ex-boyfriend warns men as she gets out of prison: \u2018Watch out\u2019 | Globalnews.ca\n\nP.E.I.\u2019s infamous \u2018Black Widow\u2019 facing attempted murder charges | SaltWire\n\nVictims of \u2018Internet Black Widow\u2019 concerned over her release in N.S. | CTV News\n\nPrison for Women\u2019s Invisible Minority | Journal of Prisoners on Prisons\n\nUnknown Gender History: Melissa Friedrich (Weeks), \u201cThe Internet Black Widow\u201d of Nova Scotia - 2012\n\nUnknown Gender History: Black Widow Serial Killers\n\nAlex Strategos: \u2018Millie Weeks\u2019, AKA Melissa Friedrich, The Internet Black Widow - Inquisitr\n\nMelissa Ann Shepard : Internet Black Widow (2012) - the fifth estate \u2014 YouTube\n\nMelissa-Ann-Shepard | National Post\n\nRead Webs of Black Widows Online by Pete Katz | Books\n\nRead Lady Killers Online by Tori Telfer | Books\n\nRead The Craigslist Killer Online by Crystal Majkowski | Books\n\nTrue Crime: Canadian Monsters: 25 Horrific Canadian Serial Killers eBook : Keller, Robert: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store\n\nRaw Video: \u2018Internet Black Widow\u2019 appears in court \u2014 YouTube\n\nOnline Dating and Dating App Safety Tips | RAINN\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine\nLearn more about your ad choices.
