Description
The Many True Crimes of Tillie Klimek and Nellie Koulik  Episode 100, a man goes to a doctor because he’s not feeling well and the doctor says, “Sounds like arsenic poisoning,” and suddenly there are four women in jail who discovered that arsenic is more effective in getting rid of a husband than divorce. The ringleader of them all, however, not only poisoned her husband, but just about anybody who crossed her, including an annoying dog. Before it was through, more than 20 deaths would be attributed to Tillie Klimek. For our 100th episode, we take a look at one of Chicago’s most prolific serial killers and her disciples.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.
