Lover, Stalker, Killer | A Deadly Love Triangle
A Murderess Affair
Hello, and welcome to A Murderess Affair. My name is Gabrielle and this is the podcast where I talk about women in history known for mayhem and murder. This week I was inspired by the Netflix documentary Lover, Stalker, Killer and immediately fell down the rabbit hole of this case. If you know this story, then you know who our woman of the week is, but for those of you guys who don’t-the best way I can retell this is following a similar format along what they did with Lover Stalker Killer because the reality of this actually happening is actually stranger than fiction ...

Gypsy Rose Blanchard
A Murderess Affair
Alright everyone, we're talking about Gypsy Rose Blanchard today. I know, she's been dominating news cycles since she was released, but I couldn't not talk about her! Also I'm sorry about the terrible audio quality in the beginning, literally took me forever to get it to be semi-worth listening. If it's too much skip to like around 3 mins and it should get better from there! Let me know what you think of this episode! You can find me at frumiousreads on twitter, tumblr, facebook, instagram, basically any and all social media! EDIT: 2/6/24 OH MY GOD THE STUPID...

Hitman for Hire: Jazmin Paez and Wendy Lynn Wein
A Murderess Affair
Today we’re talking about not one, but two different women. Yes, it is a double episode today, of sorts. And the reason is because I went down a rabbit hole, as I tend to do, and I was originally going to just talk about one woman this happened to, but apparently it has happened to at least two within the past year. Now, there’s a website, which I’m not going to name directly but I promise it exists, that falsely advertises hitmen for hire. Something that started as a joke according to the “About” section, and yet has now been used multiple times to find people who actually...

info_outlineIck ick ick ick ick okay guys this one is a gross one today, like even I was hesitant about covering this one because it’s really messed up so consider this your overall warning about Omaima Nelson and how she murdered her husband.

Also; there's some updates to the Ghislaine Maxwell story that we talk about as she's someone we've covered in a previous episode if you're interested in checking that out!
