For those who have been listeners since the start of NVN, you know that the very first episode in 2017 was about Aileen Wuornos.\xa0 But the recent episodes provide a lot more depth and offer details that we found through documentaries and books that were in Aileen\u2019s words.\xa0 This truly changed my perspective on the person she was.\xa0 This made me want to look more into other female killers (some we\u2019ve discussed briefly and others we\u2019ve never talked about on the podcast).\xa0\xa0

Heather and Karah will be covering some "Lady Killers" in this mini-series. In this episode, we\u2019re going to talk about Anna Marie Hahn.

As a quick summary, Anna Marie Hahn was a 26-year old immigrant from Germany who offered her services in Cincinnati as a live-in attendant for elderly men.\xa0 Over a period of about a year she would end up taking all she could from 5 victims (all of their assets) before finally murdering them once they had nothing left for her to take.

She used a different poison each time she killed her victims.\xa0 Once suspicions were raised, police exhumed the bodies of her victims aka her former employers, and she was arrested.\xa0 Even though it was pretty clear that she was the killer, she still attempted a mercy killing defense\u2026which didn\u2019t pan out.\xa0 And in 1938, Anna Marie Hahn became the first woman in Ohio\u2019s history to die in the electric chair.
