Summary: SERIAL KILLER CLIPS -- Stories of the world's most prolific serial killers told from historic newspaper accounts in the golden age of yellow journalism -- The Many True Crimes of Tillie Klimek and Nellie Koulik -- __ So a man goes to a doctor because he’s not feeling well and the doctor says, Sounds like arsenic poisoning, and suddenly there are four women in jail who discovered that arsenic is more effective in getting rid of a husband than divorce. The ringleader of them all, however, not only poisoned her husband, but, well, just about anybody who crossed her. Including an annoying dog. Before it was through, more than 20 deaths would be attributed to Tillie Klimek. For our 100th episode, we will take a look at one of Chicagos most prolific serial killers and her disciples. __ Music by Dave Sams www.truecrimehistorian.com/1922klimek
