In today's episode, we discuss 48 year old Hélène Jégadom a French domestic
servant, Kleptomaniac and notorious serial killer who is believed to have murdered as many as 36 people using arsenic as her weapon of choice over a period of 18 years. After an initial period of activity, between 1833 and 1841, she seems to have stopped for nearly ten years before a final killing spree in 1851. For this episode, we will discuss her timeline, various killings, and criminal trial, ultimately resulting in her being sentenced to death by guillotine in 1852. We thank you for listening and hope you enjoy the show! Cheers!
