Russia’s Granny Ripper with a Chilling Secret, Tamara Samsonova

Send us a text

She was polite.
 Private.
 And completely unassuming.

Tamara Samsonova looked like any other elderly woman in St. Petersburg.
 But inside her modest apartment, she was documenting more than daily life…

She was writing a diary of death.

From the bathtub murder of her roommate to possible links to other disappearances, Samsonova’s story is one of Russia’s most unnerving cases—where the killer wore slippers, kept handwritten records, and calmly watched it all unfold.

In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we dive deep into the case of Tamara Samsonova, a woman whose quiet demeanor masked a dark, methodical mind.

 

🎧 In this episode, we explore:

• How Tamara earned the nickname “The Granny Ripper”
• The haunting murder of Valentina Ulanova
• The role her diary played in unraveling the truth
• Why investigators believe she may have killed before
• The psychological profile of a woman who lived in silence—and took lives in secret
• Her behavior during the investigation and court proceedings
• And where she is now, years after her shocking arrest

 

🧠 This case isn’t just about murder—it’s about loneliness, control, and the mask of normalcy.
 Because sometimes, the most terrifying monsters are the ones you’d never expect.

 

📍 Tamara Samsonova. A quiet building. A bathtub. And a chilling diary of death.
