Leonarda Cianciulli: The Soap-Maker of Correggio

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of Leonarda Cianciulli, “The Soap-Maker of Correggio.” Between 1939 and 1940, Leonarda – a popular store owner in the Italian town of Correggio — lured three women to their deaths before turning their remains into tea cakes and soap. Her motive? To save her son from dying in World War II. Candice analyzes how years of tragedy and a series of unfavorable fortune readings led Leonarda to developing a dangerous delusion that turned her into a cold-blooded killer.
