The Giggling Granny: Poison, Pie, and a Perfect Smile

Send us a text

In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we lift the curtain on one of the most chilling and unexpectedly cheerful serial killers in American history—Nannie Doss, better known as The Giggling Granny. With her floral dresses, sweet southern charm, and an ever-present laugh, she didn’t look like a murderer. But behind the smile was a trail of poisoned coffee cups, dead husbands, and a disturbing desire for something more… satisfying.

How does a woman so seemingly kind become one of America’s most notorious killers?

Join me as we explore:

• The disturbing childhood and trauma that shaped Nannie’s view of love and life.
• How romantic fantasies and abuse blurred into lethal intent.
• The psychology behind her compulsive need to control, eliminate, and laugh her way through each death.
• Whether Nannie Doss was a cold-blooded killer… or a tragic symbol of suppressed rage in a patriarchal society.

With every death, she sent flowers. With every lie, she baked a pie. This is not just a story of murder—it’s a story of femininity twisted, of laughter turned lethal, and of what happens when the mask never slips… because the mask is the face.
