Female Serial Killers by Peter Vronsky [View all]

You know... I picked out this book awhile back, by my reaction of, "You must be joking..." Well, he's not joking. On page 3:

One in nearly every six serial killers in the U.S, is a woman, acting as a solo perpetrator or an accomplice. Of a totaly of about 400 serial killers identified between 1800 and 1995, nearly 16 percent were females-a total of 62 killers. While that might not be an overwhelming majority, it is not an insignificant number either-those 62 women collectively killed between 400 and 600 victims- men, women and children. Three female serial killers alone- Genene Jones, Belle Gunness, and Jane Toppan- might account collectively for as many as 200 suspected murders.

More disturbing is that three-quarters of female serial killers in the U.S made their appearance since 1950, and a full half only since 1975!


Buh...buh...but, women are always nurturing!
