S3 Ep11: The Giggling Granny, Nannie Doss

This episode really will send a shiver down your spine. Helen and Dannie dive into the life of Nannie Doss. They find out how this seemingly innocent and sweet lady with such a comforting nickname turned out to be a monstrous murder, killing her grandchildren, children and her many husbands whom she found on the lonely hearts column. Helen and Danni learn how Nannie's vicious killings went unsuspected for so long, and how feeding her husband some homemade prune stew led to her downfall.
