The title seems rather tasteless, given the subject.

The Wikipedia page [1] on her makes for a chilling read.

> She killed most of her suitors and boyfriends, and her two daughters, Myrtle and Lucy. She may also have killed both of her husbands and all of their children.

> They were married in LaPorte on April 1, 1902; just one week after the ceremony, Peter's infant daughter died (of uncertain causes) while alone in the house with Belle. In December 1902, Peter himself met with a "tragic accident."

And despite the list of her victims and suspected victims extending to multiple pages, she never was found out or convicted in her lifetime.
