Today we dive into the serial killer Mary Ann Cotton. Born into a mining family in 1832, Mary Ann grew up in a time when life moved quickly and death was all around. She grew a dislike of children while working as a housemaid, and this didn't stop once she had children of her own. Mary Ann would go on to kill many of her own children, her husbands, lovers and other family. All to gain more money and power. Although she would go undetected for many years, her own arrogance would be her undoing. She was Hanged for her crimes in Durham, England in 1873 with only two surviving children.
