Here are many stories of black widows, women who kill their husbands for power or financial gain. These women have been scattered throughout history and the ones who have been caught for their crimes often make us take a second to consider what the people we love, and believe love us, are truly capable of. You may never know whom you are sleeping next to, but should you really be concerned that they will poison your oatmeal or shoot you while you sleep? It's a rare occurrence, but it does happen.
One such case comes from the sleepy city of Durham, North Carolina. Durham was a tight knit town, a wholesome community where people were proud to raise their children, work, and attend their churches. And even decades later, the residences of Durham have not forgotten what happened when evil walked through their town.
