The Murder Farm At The End Of Mcclung Rd

Belle Starr had cultivated some enemies over the years, including her son Eddie and her daughter Pearl, with a farmland tenant being viewed as the murder’s primary suspect (E). Edgar Watson, who had once rented land from Belle, was a fugitive wanted for murder, which she kicked off her land after she found out his history (E). The authorities believed that Watson ambushed Belle and he was then arrested on suspicion that he had murdered Belle Starr (E).

Belle Starr was known as an infamous outlaw in the Wild West, but in recent years, historians have gathered data that suggests that she committed far fewer criminal acts than her legend would suggest, with all the men in her life being the main criminals

Although women serial killers are not very common, they still have a huge impact on the death toll of innocent victims.

In 1881 the boring life of Brynhild Paulsdatter Størseth was just not enough to make her happy. Growing up poor in Norway just could not satisfy her want for wealth. Many people say that is why she moved to America; to start her new life as Belle Gunness and to acquire wealth.

Knowing this as we all do, Belle had always loved fairy tales. They made her feel special, like a princess – despite her own bad situation. You see, she lived in a huge mansion with long corridors, huge chandeliers, and butlers. This doesn’t sound bad, but what she saw of it on a typical day was the dark cellar and the wash room. She and her family were servants here, though treated more like slaves. The only time she was ever able to just be a child was when the household was out at the latest ball or party. Then Belle would sneak up into the library that was filled floor to ceiling with all kinds of books, and spend hours with the fairy tales. So, what was it that she discovered that dark day in the woods?

What is a serial killer? Retired Special Agent Robert Ressler, a twenty-two year veteran of the FBI’s Behavioral Sciences Unit in Quantico, Virginia, is responsible for creating the term “serial killer.” He defines this person as “one who commits a series of murders, usually three or more, the victims most often being strangers, and usually with a cooling-off period in between each kill” (Kelleher & Kelleher, 1998; Pearson, 1998; Ressler and Shactman, 1997).
