About this listen

What drives a woman to become one of America’s most notorious serial killers?

Belle Gunness was a farmer, a mother, and a murderer who lured victims to her Indiana farm with promises of love and opportunity. But behind the idyllic rural façade lay a gruesome reality—a farm where dreams were shattered, lives were stolen, and secrets were buried. Dubbed the "Black Widow of La Porte," Belle’s chilling crimes have haunted history for over a century.

Whispers from the Murder Farm peels back the layers of this twisted case, exploring Belle’s calculated methods, the psychology behind her crimes, and the failures of law enforcement that allowed her to evade justice. Through meticulous research and immersive storytelling, this book reconstructs Belle’s chilling legacy, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the mind of one of history’s most enigmatic and dangerous women.
