E12: Josephine Gray AKA The Black Widow

E12: Josephine Gray AKA The Black Widow

In episode 12 we discuss Josephine Gray AKA The Black Widow. She is responsible for the deaths of 2 husbands and 1 boyfriend, and she was rumored to be a voodoo practitioner. This case took place in Baltimore in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Baltimore has a high population of black people but it is also very segregated. We discuss the Black Widow's life (what we could find out anyway), her crimes, the men in her life, and how she got caught. As always we share our take aways and offer up some tips on how NOT to get murdered!
