She smiled at neighbors.
 Baked cookies for the church.
 And buried every single one of her children.
 Was Marybeth Tinning cursed… or was she the curse?

In a quiet New York town, Marybeth Tinning appeared to live for her children. But behind the warm smiles and neighborhood small talk, tragedy followed her family like a shadow. One by one, over the course of 14 years, nine of her children died — each death explained away as bad luck or sudden illness.

Doctors suspected sudden infant death syndrome. Friends whispered about a curse. But the truth was far more disturbing — and it lived behind the closed doors of the Tinning home.

In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we uncover the chilling case of Marybeth Tinning, a woman whose story forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about grief, deception, and the darkest corners of motherhood.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:
 • Marybeth’s early life and family background
 • The tragic timeline of her children’s deaths
 • How suspicion slowly turned toward her
 • The investigation that uncovered a horrifying truth
 • The psychological profile of a mother who killed
 • Her arrest, trial, and life after prison

🧠 This isn’t just a case of murder — it’s a case that challenges our understanding of trust, maternal instinct, and the limits of empathy.

📍 Marybeth Tinning. Nine children. Fourteen years. One question: why?
