追加: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]In April 1908, firefighters in LaPorte, Indiana found a headless body inside a burned-down farmhouse.

[00:00:06]In the pig pens behind the farm, they kept digging up more bodies.

[00:00:10]At least 11.

[00:00:11]Possibly 40.

[00:00:13]The woman who owned the farm was named Belle Gunness.

[00:00:16]A Norwegian [music] widow.

[00:00:18]She had been placing lonely hearts ads in Norwegian language newspapers for years, looking for wealthy widowers willing to bring their savings [music] to live with her on the farm.

[00:00:26]The men came.

[00:00:27]None of them left.

[00:00:29]Her first husband died in 1900 on the [music] only day his two life insurance policies overlapped.

[00:00:34]The doctor called it a heart attack.

[00:00:36]Her second husband died in 1902, allegedly when a meat grinder fell from a high shelf and hit him in the head.

[00:00:43]The headless body in the farmhouse was [music] smaller than Belle.

[00:00:46]The teeth didn't match her dental records.

[00:00:48]The coroner could not confirm it was her.

[00:00:51]>> [music] >> For the next 20 years, witnesses across America said they had seen her in Chicago, in Los Angeles, in San Francisco.

[00:00:58]None of the sightings ever stuck.

[00:01:00]>> [music] >> Nobody knows where she went.

[00:01:02]Or how many men she actually killed.
