century from the eighteen. Ninety two nineteen o one Jane top and went on a killing spree her victims were the elderly, the infirm, the lame her friends only using skill she acquired as a private nurse. She injected your victims with malicious concoctions. The sadistic alchemy left her victims, helpless, ass. She toyed with them for hours days, even bringing them in and out of various stages of consciousness, only to force them back into a comatose state. When Jane finally grew border victims. She gave them one. Last injection ass, her victim struggled and gasped with their final breath, Jane curled up next to them kissing and funding them over the court the decade Jane TOP and took the lives of thirty three people.

Jane, topping Jolly Jane, tell me than us at the

covered other female serial killers. Before like Bell goodness and nanny, does what makes Jane such an interesting serial killer. Excellent question Craig Jean was unique amongst female serial killers, mostly due to her motivations, while many feet EL killers go after creature, comforts and positions of power. Jane took a different route in her killings. She killed for power, conferred oh and sexual satisfaction, which, like a typical male serial killers, yet Not only that Jane Topic also had a rod or phone Ophelia ethnic. We talk about that before, but remind me. We have erotic photo failure is the condition when someone derives sexual satisfaction from some one else dying to put its him Jane, was a lust murderous escalating for Jane. Her murders were crimes, passion like many male serial killers? She laughed due to a perverse sexual desires and a need for power.

She also adhered to many classic female serial killer, tropes desiring material possessions and better social position. You could, She was the worst of both worlds. Story begins in the year. Eighteen, fifty four and the growing town of Lowell Massachusetts consider the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution. Lowell was the center of large scale textile factories. Soon, people from all across Amerika began to move to the spindle city in the hopes of a better life This is especially true of irish immigrants, Brigitte and Peter Kelly. Like me the other irish Catholic immigrants at the time Brigitte and Peter came to America, hoping to start a new life instead, They were only faced with discrimination at the time

immigrants were looked down upon as drunken slobs, violent reprobates and jobs, dealers taking lower income jobs from hard working native born Americans. They also faced rampant discrimination for their religion, Catholicism and a protestant dominated community. Many felt that Catholicism was out to supplant their way of life. Of course, this couldn't have been further from the truth, as most irish immigrants were fleeing Pham, and oppression and simply wanted to find a better life for themselves and their families. So the young couple struggled to support their three children, Nellie Dahlia, Josephine and little her, nor I can't who would later be named James Tobin Life and the care we household was poor, both literally and figuratively. Shortly after her Nora was borne her mother Brigitte died of consumption, hey, tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in America at the time and one of them world's most prolific and deadly diseases by the turn of the sun,

three. Nearly four hundred twenty Americans die daily because of the rampant disease. Peter Kelly was heartbroken and turned to the bottle to filled the void in his heart Sadly, this only seem to heighten Peters pain. Peter gained a reputation as a violent drunkard he'd get into fights constantly and lose jobs left and right because of it. The girls lived in near destitution to make matters worse. Evidence suggests that Peter physically abused his daughters eye witnesses say that they saw the girls not only walking around in rags but also covered in bruises. It was not a pretty image for Peter, or what was left of his family. As things got worse for the family you're only drink more. It was a vicious cycle. Still something and Peter must have clicked as realized. He could no longer support his children, so he decided to give them up to better caretakers Peter took his girls to the Boston female asylum.

Founded in one thousand, seven hundred and ninety nine by MRS Hannah Steelman, the Boston female Asylum, was originally intended to be a safe haven and care facility for wayward and mentally ill girls. However overtime, the institution became an orphanage for young girls. Its mission was simple, receive, protect and instruct female friends things Peter couldn't do for his girls. So in the year eighteen, sixty three Peter Kelly gave up. Daughters to the Boston Female Asylum Nora later to be named. John and was nine years old this we agreed to take the girl said it was the last time they ever saw their father this is known about what happened to Peter Kelly. Afterwards, rumours persist, though, that continued. His drunken spiral, slow We going mad This earned him the nickname Kelly, the crack crack being short for crackpot. Lest anyone had heard a Peter Kelly, he had gotten a job at a local Taylor shop. The job must have been tough, though, when the owner came to check out in one day

He found Peter trying to so his own eyes shut with, there's any validity or not to these rumours, it does offer a little foreshadowing into what was on the way here we see a clear sign, of addiction and possible mental instability in the family. Growing up destitution was probably not much help either for poor Nora couple that with no positive role model or any figure to teach her right and wrong. Those nine years, must have been very detrimental to the girls development. Meanwhile, sisters spent the next year or so living in the asylum, but we have no personal records of what happened to her Nora her sisters, while there we do would generally went on inside the asylum itself, the asylum hot young girls, basic skills for use outside of the facility. They learned basic This may take reading and writing skills. In addition, They were also taught various domestic skills like cleaning cooking sewing whatever was deemed proper. The lady at the time, girls were usually held there.

Until they were around ten years old. After that, the asylum would turn the girls over to foster homes as indentured servants. At these homes, the girls would live and work until they turned eighteen years old. After that they be given fifty dollars and set out into the world to fend for themselves. Such was the case for historically now. Tat years old, Nora, was sent off to a foster home, along with another foster girl named Elizabeth, the two sent to live with an see turban nor I never saw her sisters again again. There is rumour and speculation as to what happened to her Nora sisters after she left the asylum for deluge, Josephine said she remained in the asylum until eighteen, sixty nine, before being sent out onto your ass, a servant at age, twelve? There she turned to a life of drinking and prostitution, she, later died, living in destitution and squalid conditions as fanelli what is known as she was later institutionalized, though no one is sure where or why me

while her Nora now referred to as Jane thought that perhaps now well. She'd actually have a family with an turban. She was wrong and top in also despise the Irish Catholicism she verbally and visit We humiliated Jane due to our irish heritage and await, in fact MRS top Incomplete change to, nor his name and background minority, He was now Jane TOP and the daughter, italian immigrants who died at sea? Couldn't you just stay horror? What would that, due to a child being killed, your identity was lower than dirt and forced to take up a new one, nothing good, as we ve done but before the formative years of childhood are so important, especially mentally she had already straw filled with abuse and destitution as a child. More than likely. This left her with a low sense of self worth, even before she taken in by anti open. Now he was being told her entire life didn't amount to anything. So she had to change everything, Bout herself, everything she'd known, was

being erased. This can cause- mrs of identity, for a child one where Child may try anything to please those around her or lash out confusion to make things worse, during these situations tend to believe everything is their fault, that they are bad people and not just a victim of circumstances. Tragic do This identity crisis at such a young age cause trivia, developer, murderous nature. It most likely contributed. Yes, despite trying so hard to. Please her fast her mother, Jane, got no love or affection. She was cause only shamed by an who reminded that her status was quite low and that no one would like her due to await this likely further contributed

to an inferiority complex, Jane, grew to hate herself and her status in life. On the other hand, Jaynes Foster Sister Elizabeth was voted upon and rarely ever had to work as hard as poor, Jane, MRS Top, in constantly brought gifts for Lisbeth and told her how pretty she was. She even formally adopted Elizabeth as our own Jane, never got that luxury, gay strove Jane to bitter resentment, at least but then Jane came from the same situation, the same foster home but Elizabeth. Life was so much easier, Jane and red and hated Elizabeth, its no matter what Elisabeth did. Everything came naturally for her, while Jane had to work extra hard to fit in and talk to people yet Smith was always kind to her foster sister. She introduced. Or to new friends and looked after her is best she could. Both girls attended school Elizabeth School in socializing came easy for Jane and not so much to compensate for this

Jane began to act out Jane was very outspoken to compensate for her lack of confidence, hold grandiose, lies about her father being a sailor at sea or her real sister was married to a wealthy prince if any called her out on her lies she gasped about behind their back. She also told lies to get other students in trouble and tattled often ass. She could she blamed, her own misdeeds on others. What does this tell us about change this? two shows Jaynes identity, crisis, inaction on the surface its clear that you wanted attention. She wanted positive reinforcement yet know how to achieve this, so she lied with hopes of getting praise and positive attention things she desperately. Why it needed, though the car still lying gossip and getting other kids in trouble does paint a picture of conduct disorder conduct disorder conduct.

Disorder is a type of childhood social disorder that parallels characteristics of anti social personality disorder. Those suffering from conduct disorder often display impulsive or aggressive behaviour. Kallas. Sword d heedful desire or even engage in petty crime. A world Jane did steal from the school Andrew classmates. Yes, but what causes such a disorder today, look and children like many mental disorders. It can be a number of factors from genetic history, Neuro, psychological deficits, academic and social problems, or even increased family dysfunction like having a drunk father, who give you up for adoption, only to be taken in by a bigoted and abusive woman who forced you to change everything about yourself, I'm afraid so traits associated with conduct disorder can serve as an early warning sign of growing psychopathy if left, unchecked and untreated. Sadly, I don't think Jane ever received the help she needed as Jane grew at your ten years

she continued to lie in steel, despite becoming fairly popular for her bubbly nature. She became especially gossipy and continued telling outlandish stories, and while they may have seemed cute when she was ten now she was a teenager. Such childhood fantasies were quite unbecoming of a lady. She tried dating but found futile This would court her due to a reputation for lying or her size. Jane had always leaned on the heavy side, starting at the asylum she often over eight to help deal with their problems. Was also another point of attack for an who tormented the child about her weight, saying she was too fat this only made her eat more, which only lead to more problems, of course, Jane fast. Your sister Elisabeth always had plenty of suitors. This further drove Jane to resentment. It was around this time that Elizabeth fell in love with the local deacon at her church or male Brigham. The two became engaged soon after this again didn't sit. Well it

and she too wanted to be married and have children. Yet she found no suitors interested herself image grew darker and she, found herself doubting that she'd ever be married by eighteen. Seventy two, both girls graduated high school service with the lower family was done, MRS Top and paid both girls are their stipend and release them of their service. However, MRS Top and died shortly soon after and left everything to Elizabeth and a new husband since Jane, had nowhere to go Elisabeth hired JANUS her housekeeper for the time being and active kindness, perhaps but for Jane, It was salt on an open wound. It had been bad after Elizabeth was Missus, Cluppins favorite, but now she had thing. Jane ever wanted plus Jane had to work for her, but perhaps there was a silver lining by the eighteen. Eighty Jane claims. She found a suitor in a local office worker. The two got engaged in

got as far as a wedding, yet the office worker left her at the altar and skipped town where he supposedly married another woman. This, supposedly became the reason as to why Jane started, killing saying quote. If I've been married, I probably would not have killed all those people. I would have had my husband, my children and my home, to take up my mind and quote, or what do you think do believer? not really we know she has a history of lying. This could have been a smokescreen to cover up why she really killed people her zest for colonel satisfaction and control, after allegedly being left at the altar Jane contemplating suicide. Several times before, eventually giving up it was also around this time. She became obsessed without dreams, could predict the future and began to read smut novels with fervent determination. Then around one thousand, eight hundred and eighty five The thirty one year old, Jane, decided to leave Lisbeth and become a nurse she reached that no one would ever love her and she had no alternative Elizabeth

Her she'd always be welcome at her home hold it Elisabeth know that Jane was about to embark on a dark journey, one. Where finally find control and satisfaction in life through death.

It was here She realized her twisted and mccobb desires. The year was one thousand eight hundred and eighty seven, the thirty three year old, Jane Toppan Travel to Cambridge Massachusetts to enroll in Boston's, cable

Hospital, Jane immediately began or training. Once again, she became a figure of controversy. She became a bit of a kiss up to a professors and supervised, She was also beloved by many patients who effectually nicknames jolly chain on account of his stocky build and seemingly sunny disposition, still Jane used many of her old tricks from childhood. She lied frequently and gossiped nonstop and tat hold on nurses who broke the rules while blaming others for her own foibles. She also can Can you to steal yet it was also during this time that something else awoke and Jane one day and her fellow nurses were called in to take notes on the autopsy process, as the doktor proceeded to cut open the cadaver and reveal its contents to the room thing and Jane began to stir many were repulsed. Yet Jane became fascinated. The processes of death, how the body seemed to freeze and place than slowly decay Jane, wanted to know, need

to learn more every time there was an autopsy Jane was there taking notes, vigorously asking questions, learning anything and everything she could hear. Supervisors were concerned it First. Why? This relentlessly an inquisitive fervent attitude, especially towards such an unsavory part of the job, over time, though they simply wrote it off. As suggested work, this more than likely was the beginning of Jane Tappans obsession with death and develop of her Radovan Ophelia Herpes jewel arousal by death, and why do you think she develop Gerardo phone Ophelia? I think part of it was a control fantasy, a power struggle. If you well, most of her life, she had no power, no control. She was judged and reduced as ever status, her heritage, her religion, even her appearance, but with death, the ridicule ceased, the cruel gestures halted and that power

the power to control, whether a person existed or not, it must come off his intoxicating to Jane. She lasted for power and control. Shortly after this, Bring her own twisted sense of self and sexuality. Jane began to experiment. Jane was very popular among patients some even wish to stay longer just to be taken care of by her little do they know that Jane had other plans for them. Jamie came so infatuated with some of her patients that she would falsify their charts. Writing incorrect or false information. Changing release AIDS, whatever she could to get people to stay. Of course, there was another ulterior motive behind this gene so used her favorite patients as test subjects, men, women the elderly, the confirmed it didn't matter. So long as Jane liked you she enjoyed. Did or gave them varying amounts of medicine to test their effects for the next four. Here's. This became her new obsession, something

She gave him a little extra bit of morphine other times a day, of strychnine, her drug of choice was atropine, atropine is a chemical used in pesticides and nerve Asians. Medically small doses can help speed up a slow heart, accelerate saliva production. It also inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls hunger, arousal, urination, digestion, dedication and more, but in high enough doses, it is highly poisonous blurring vision, causing loss of balance, photophobia or a discomfort and bright lights, hallucinations excitement and, of course, death. Jean, would induce a comma with morphine than wake her victim up with atropine only to put them back down with morphine. It was a cycle of tour, sure. According to Jane. She did this to some dozen or more patience adding to the depravity she also got into her victims. Literal deathbeds, Jane climbed in next to evict

and snuggled with them, as they died, often fondling them. It's clear about how far she took her deviant behavior, but she chose to spend the last moments of the victims, life holding them intimately, that's rather Mc Cobb. Yes, indeed, however, in some instances, people manage to get away like thirty Europe Amelia Finny, Miss Phoebe, just got out of surgery when Jane entered her room. She gave Amelia bitter tasting concoction. Jane said it was to help with any after effects from the surgery missed any then began to slip into unconsciousness ass. She did Jane climbed on top of her in bed. She could miss any all over her face and head. Luckily, an orderly came in and Jane ran away. Miss Vinnie was least, from the hospital the next day, unsure of what happened was a dream or not, she was lucky: she survived, no kidding

here. We see emerging of two ideas, one we see you're picking her victims based on how much she liked them and to her reasons for killing our necessitated out of sexual drive and lust for control. This fits both proof. Howls of female and male serial killers, clear she sought sexual gratification and control like a typical male serial killer. Yet she went about in a precise and thoughtful manner choosing to go after patients. She was most comfortable in familiar with this fits with that nickel female serial killer again is what makes Jane top in such a fascinating case study, despite her murderous addiction, Jane, wasn't caught by the staff or her superiors over the course of her for years there, in fact, in a matter of cruel irony, Jane was often praised by her superior yours for taking care of the patients who made it and those that seem to die under her care. Her superior wrecked

men she received more advanced training at the highly respected Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. This was the large, teaching medical facility Massachusetts and also one of the first places to use ether as not a static fridge. In this must have been a major confidence booster. Not only was she getting away with murder, she seemed to be getting promoted for it Jane accepted the offer. Graciously added late. One thousand eight hundred and eighty nine thirty six year old, Jane, headed off to Boston lyrics. She continued to experiment and kill, helpless patients again targeting patients who trusted her and that she liked the most it's unclear. How many died under her care such uses General Jean, also continued lying spreading, gossiping, stealing things by this summer. Eighteen. Ninety Jane was quite the rising star. She was even in charge of the nursing staff on the head nurse had to leave the campus yet Jane broke. One cardinal rule: never the premises without permission. This is too

sure. If there is an emergency, all staff are present to help feeling a bit too cocky Sheila. Grounds one day, suspecting no one would find out, but Jane their fair share of enemies among the staff for her brace of personality and pathological lying. She was quickly rat and on upon her return, Jane was dismissed from the hospital. It was quite a blow was Jane, had passed her final and was just too. To graduate Shiva had a diploma signed, Jane spurious, but this didn't stop her by the fall eighteen. Ninety Jane returned to Cambridge Hospital she's. Somehow managed to convince them to allow her to take the test to get her nursing licence. Despite what happened at Massachusetts General and passed, she stated came to work as a nurse, but that didn't last long, many nursing staff knew about Jane and her habits of gossiping and stealing from our previous stay by early eighteen, ninety one? She was dismissed from the hospital on the grounds of administering opiates recklessly opiates,

equally pharmaceutical drugs derived from opium. Typically you in numbing pain or putting patients under. No doubt you, experimenting with opiates to study their effects on her victims. Again, this didn't deter Jane. The summer of eighteen. Ninety one Jane decided to become a private nurse, much like travelling doctors. At the time, a private nurse was essentially a freelance caregiver emphasis. In providing some aid and support to private homes and even hospitals, if needed. Her superiors once again four glowing recommendations. Despite her opiate scandal, thanks to a super users recommendations. She quickly became one of the most successful private nurses in Massachusetts. At thirty, years old. She made twenty five dollars a week in time, where the average wage for working women was five dollars a week yet Jane contain. The steel and tell intricate lies and stories regarding her past, while many employers were annoyed by this. They

we wrote it off as part of her poor irish upbringing funny how their prejudice seemed to blind them to what was in front of them a cruel killer with her success. Shane spent your free time guzzling beer new friends and then turning those friends against each other here we see more of genes, desire to control and manipulate people to her. It was all a big game. This Alice dismissal of others. Feelings and wants. Is typical, sociopath ache and even psychotic behaviour? Yet with this ability to manipulate and control people came a power trip, one that emboldened her she finally had control of her life and the lives of others. Yet she still had to satisfy her lustful cravings and that meant finding more victims. Our story will continue in a moment right after the break now. Let's continue the story about three years had passed strain top and had taken life,

she was enjoying much success as a private nurse for higher. Yet she found that there was an it. She couldn't quite scratch. Her sexual desire to hold people ass. They die then in May of eighteen. Ninety five she decided to poison her landlord Israel Dunham Jane later She killed him because he was growing old and fussy like her previous hospital victims Jane, slowly poisoned him overtime, spiking, his tea ones. He became ill. She took care of him again using atropine and morphine slip in and out of a comatose state before fatally poisoning him Israel died on May twenty, sixth eighteen. Ninety five, Israel's wife, lovely Dunham, was devastated yeah chain, made sure she was there to comfort her and keep her in good company. The two grew close over the next couple of years, but then, Eighteen, ninety seven Jane, decided, love

We had outlived her usefulness and poisoned her as well. Lovely died in September of eighteen. Ninety seven, perhaps one of genes, biggest murders came another two years later, when she finally murdered her foster sister Elisabeth Brigham, Jane had been visiting her sister, often on over the years Elizabeth husband or amend, were happy to host her Jane it always hated Elizabeth for the Love Elizabeth had received as a child for what seemed like the, fairytale story, Jane, never got Jane, decide, did that Elizabeth story wouldn't have a happy ending in August of one thousand eight hundred and ninety nine elizabeth- was vacationing in Buzzards Bay Massachusetts when she complained to her sister that she's been experiencing depression and wasn't quite sure how to deal with it suggested the to meet at chains, new vacation home and Cape COD, the sisters, met there and spent a few days catching up. One day Jane took her foster Cisterna picnic. She said Elizabeth Corps,

beef, taffy and mineral water, laced with strychnine, strychnine, is highly toxic and is used in pesticides to kill small birds and rodents it can cause. Must you convulsion and even asphyxia alien It was also used around this time in small doses as a performance enhancing for athletes and men. Elisabeth became incredibly sick. Of course, her dear sister Jane took care of her. Over several days, Jane used morphine and atropine too slowly poison. Her finally, twenty nine eighteen. Ninety nine Elizabeth Brigham died. This marked the first and only time, Jane, killed out of hate or revenge. Jane hated her sister for all the good fortune she had Elizabeth was loved by their cruel fostered. Was popular in school. Growing up had many suitors, even a husband by this point it now she. Bring her sisters, fairytale story to a grisly conclusion, Jane later described her last moment. Saying quote: I held her

my arms and watched with delight ass, she gasped for her life. So how does this put into your idea of a female verses, male serial killer, good question. This fits into the category of the typical female serial killer here: she's killing for revenge, a common motive for many female serial killers in the fall of eighteen. Ninety, nine, normal Brigham buried his wife Elizabeth with help from Jane, Jane, told or better sisters last wish was to let Jane have her gold watch and chain. This was a lie, yet male gave Jane the items anyway, Jane pond them off the first chance she got. Jane also tried to seduce or email, yet he rebuffed her advances. No doubt Jane, was trying to steal her sisters, lifestyle as well, but we continue to do that. Why the obsession Jean wanted her sisters- life though they grew up with the same fostered, Elizabeth had everything Jane ever wanted, but couldn't quite reach love.

Tension and positive reinforcement. Now that Elizabeth was gone, it was the perfect opportune. It sees her nemesis life and claim it ass her own. This was the life Jane could have had, but was told she wasn't good and to get, I think more than anything Jane just wanted to be loved and to belong somewhere, which, can see in the intimate way she killed her victims after June was region did by Orwell. She didn't kill again until December twenty, ninth eighteen, ninety nine! She next kills marrying the clear age. Seventy what's just think about this case is, unlike her previous victims. Jane, didn't, know MC clear, very well, It only recently decided to treat or as a patient and kills or rather quickly, taking no time to get attached. So why the change? It's definitely odd My guess is that Jane killed MC clear on a whim. Perhaps she needed some form of sexual release. We know she curls up next were victims and fondles them as they die. While this behaviour doesn't fit into the female killer profile. It certainly fits with the mail

Killing someone out of misplaced sexual need is interesting. Jane didn't quite strike again until February, eleventh nineteen hundred when she killed her friend my requires countries worked at the theological school in Cambridge as dining matron. A lucrative position that came with its own apartment Connor's fell ill and asked her friend Jane to take However, Jane was more than happy to oblige of course, Jane Kilter afterwards, Jane told Connor's boss, the dean at the theological school. That conference had been training her to take up her new powers. Mission, the dean accepted Jane as the new mess hall matron. After all, why would chain my and here we see Jane killing for a better position in life, a new job and apartment, jumping back into the modus operandi of the typical female serial killer not to mention killing someone. She was close to plus working in a mess hall? That would be the perfect stamping ground to find new victims. However, by November of nineteen hundred

was dismissed from a new position. She seed. Numerous complaints from staff members about her incompetence, plus it was discovered that she stealing money from the school? Thankfully she wasn't given. It ass to kill anyone while she was there after this Jane had trouble finding work for a time they need a new place to live as well. She lost the apartment shortly after being fired. By early nineteen o one she found residence with Melvin and Eliza Beetle. She convince them to let her live with them after she nurse them back to health from having gastrointestinal problems. These intestinal problems were because Jane had placing them Jane, also took up the job the Beatles new housekeeper, the old keeper Mary Sullivan, had been fired for drinking on the job again Jane was the behind this newly open position, Jane Drugged, Mary, giving her the appearance of being drunk on the job, possibly using people's prejudice of the Irish to her advance What I find interesting about this whole situation is that Jane, didn't, kill Mary Solid,

or the Beatles. She had plenty of opportunities to once Jane and made enough money working at the Beatles. She moved out in rented a small cottage from all did in Mattie Davis and Khatami Massachusetts. She received a discount for being a nurse after Jane had stayed there. For some time the Davis family became frustrated, Jane, still haven't paid. Her rent fed up with this matter went to visit Jane to retrieve the money. Jane said she would pay and offered Madison Tee the tea was laced with morphine for seven days. Mary was helpless, ass, Jane poisoned her. She wrote to Alden sing, his wife is ill, but she take care of her Jane toyed with her, bringing in and out of lucidity taunting Herpes letting a slip back into a coma. Finally, Mattie died on July Fifth, nineteen o one funeral was held and Jane, attended she, fitter sincerest apologies for not being able to save Mattie Matisse husband, Alden was incredibly grief. Stricken

Jane offered to stay and tend to the poor man until he got better little. Do they know that Jane had decided not only to kill all did, but the rest of the day. This family, too Jane, immediately, moved in with the Davis family. But, unlike her previous methods of murder, Jane tried, something new, Jane, try, Several times to burn the house down setting three fires on separate occasions each time power the fire was quickly put out by members of the family, no ones. The wiser either frustrated, Jane I had to go back to her old way, poison. First, she points and Origins youngest daughter, Genevieve, Gordon Genevieve, had come to stay with. Her There is the grieved she died, you light six nineteen o one Jane passes off as a suicide to Genovese family, saying Genevieve had used her medical supplies to poison itself. Two weeks later, she killed Alden Davis on August faith and four days after that she killed the last

this child, many Gibbs she killed many using morphine tablets in her drink. What's particularly dark about this death was that as many was dying, Jane, not only cuddled, with many but forced ten year old Son Jong cuddle with his dying mother is well. Why make rescind do that? I personally think that was for a bit of river change. Jane had come to many earlier, asking that any and all day the family be cleared the day, That being the money she owed for running the cottage, the same debt that lead Jane to kill many mother Mattie Many refused to forgive the debt, so as one final bit of pay back Jane, had many son watch her die, with no one else left in the family. It fell upon Minis Father in law, Paul Gibbs, to oversee the funeral arrangements. He immediately dismiss Jane, who was already trying to seduce Minis widower pollen something was up, however, J.

Didn't know it, but Paul Gibbs would ultimately bring about her demise shortly after killing the Davis family. Jane returned to her home town of lower Massachusetts? She had hopes of once again trying to deuce, formal Brigham, her late sisters, husband still obsessed with getting Elizabeth Life, looks that way It seemed even in Deaf Elizabeth was still tormenting Jane. I think Jane couldn't understand why, if it was we could have a happy life. She couldn't that's why she was. Fixated on her. She wanted all the positive things Elizabeth had if she became Elizabeth than me. We should finally be happy. I guess that childhood identity cards this, never really left her in a way Yes, she was very unhappy with who she was and to her, taking over her sister Life was the only escape from it, so Jane move and with or a melon his sister Edna Banister Edna was the housekeeper

and in Jane size arrival for affection. She quickly pleasanter killing her. On August twenty six nineteen o one from there. She started to poison Orwell, though her intentions, weren't to kill, only wanted him sick, so she could nurse and back to health, thereby winning as affection. This didn't work. Or more recovered and rejected her advances enraged. She threatened to spread rumours that she was pregnant with his child or male, didn't, take kindly to the threat and decided to throw her out horrified at the prospect of being homeless. Again, Jane attempted suicide by overdosing on fain. She lived, however, and after Jane was nurse back to health or milk kicked her out of the house. Ironic really Jane spent so much time, killing people and when it came time to take her own life. She botched it, but this again

goes to show you her fusion of female and male serial killer traits, she's killing for both lust and a better position of power for material and sexual desires. Meanwhile, Paul Gibbs There are a lot of many goods or did an autopsy and toxicity tests of his dead relatives, Mattie Alden Genevieve and many for the entire. May die so close to each other and over the span of about a month. Well, something was wrong. Paul hired, fame toxicologist Leonard Wood to investigate of his family was poisoned. The results came back positive for poison, though they weren't sure what kind at first, I thought it was arsenic, poisoning but later deemed to be poisoning from atropine and morphine drugs typically used in medical practices. Gives did some more digging and found that, through the families entire demise Jane was their Gibbs? Was convinced he notified the police was signed, it John S, Patterson detract down, Jane Jane, had moved in with her

friend Sarah Nicholls, but her stay didn't last long as detective Patterson tracked her down Jane top and was around. Said for the murder of the Davis family. On October, twenty ninth nineteen o one. She was taken to Barnes Jail House where she awaiting trial, he was forty seven years old two days Jane was arranged in county court. Her defence lawyers wanted Use. The insanity plea Jane thought. This is a good eye as she thought, she'd avoid jail time admitting she was crazy. She pleaded guilty on the grounds of insanity. Jane was interviewed by Doktor Henry Stedman, a renowned Boston, Psychiatry, to see for claims of insanity were credible, Jane admitted to killing at least thirty three people, but suspected she had kill more from her days of experimenting. Shield who admitted that she killed for the sexual thrill. It gave her. However, she him How much of what she told and Doktor Stedman

wasn't sure how much of it was true or not. What he did know, however, was that this woman was ill from November Eighth the March thirty first, nineteen o one prosecutors struggled to gather the truth from the lies chain, told her stories cons. We changed, but with little consistency they found the used, such as how she lived with, Davis, family and killed on sexual impulse. She further admitted she felt exquisite pleasure when killing her patience and lacked any remorse and doing so, though. At times she tried to backtrack on our motives. By saying she was a jilted lover recalling the time she was left at the altar by June twenty third, the trial of Jane TOP and came to an end, eight hours of laying out evidence the jurors reviewed toppings case for twenty minutes. They found her not guilty by and of insanity, Jane, was overcome with joy. She thought you fooled everyone by saying she was crazy. She figured He'd, hang out and in asylum for a few months than be released, this wasn't

case, while she may be did the hangman Nous Jane, was shipped off to Taunton Insane Hospital where she remained imprisoned for rest of her life time in the hospital proved hard for Jane. She grew increasingly paranoid fearing Someone would try and placing her as an active revenge. She continually asked for drugs the hope of poison yourself and others. Many suspected when waste away sooner than later, newspapers went wild. Story of the nurse turned murderer. Many were confused as to Why woman as normal and seemingly carrying as Jane, showed no signs of being crazy. What drove her to commit such horrendous crimes? The paper cited Doktor Stedman, who evaluated Jane before her trial, he said that Jane suffered from moral insanity that her mode were of sudden and cruel nature, seemingly unmowed evaded by any one thing essentially, and early diagnosis of sociology Europe. The years went on. Jane

slowly calm down until she became a quiet, old lady she was never offered probation or any kind of consideration for release. She finally died of old age. Eighty four years old on August, seventeenth, nineteen, thirty, eight. So what do you think the Knesset did Jane TOP and ever find any peace? Did she ever find that positive identity? She yearn, for? I don't think so gray. I think, despite her own twisted efforts, she never quite found that positivity she wanted. Jane topic is a bit of a tragic figure. Torn entered by poor self esteem and bigotry, she never quite new. The feeling of love, ironic, securing. She was a nurse someone who was supposed to spread, love and hope to the poor, the injured the helpless. Instead, she turned her pain outward. She grew to feel pleasure at watching others die. Holding caressing and even groping them in their final moments as it is with

many killers. It was about power control and maybe even a bit of revenge. Revenge for a life. She never quite got a fair shot at so in the end for identity was that of a lust murderous to this stage.
