Black Widow: Lyda Trueblood

Two Sleuths

One woman, four dead husbands and a whole lot of arsenic-laced fly paper.

Lyda TrueBlood was Idaho's first-known female serial killer and one of America's earliest "black widows." We’ll untangle her web of deception and tell you about the lovers she left dead in her wake, those that escaped, and the one who is still missing. That along with the steadfast investigator who tracked her trail through out the early 1900s.
