Monsters Among Men
“He wanted me to go to bed with him, I refused… I went and got the whiskey bottle out of the flour bin in the kitchen and poured poison into it, I thought ‘I’ll just teach him a lesson.’”
-Nannie Doss, “The Jolly Black Widow”
Nannie Doss was found to have killed four husbands – one in Alabama, one in North Carolina, one in Kansas and one in Oklahoma – the last one, Samuel Doss, for whose murder she was eventually tried and convicted. Nannie is also alleged to have killed her mother, two of her four daughters, a mother-in-law and other family members, either by her favorite form of homicide, prunes salted with rat arsenic, or through one or another spontaneous means of annihilation.
