Only Belle [Bare Belle] The Story of Serial Killer Belle Gunness [Part 1-4].wmv

Brynhild Paulsdatter Størset, better known as Belle Gunness, was born in 1859 in Selbu, Norway. After moving to the United States, she became one of the most notorious female serial killers of all time. It is estimated that she murdered between 40 and 70 people, but she was never tried or sentenced for any of these crimes. As the net closed in around her, she arranged her own "death" and disappeared without a trace.

Director Anne Berit Vestby, a native of the same small village in Norway, follows Belle's tracks from Selbu to Chicago. Drawing on archival newspapers and featuring authentic photos, the story Vestby recounts turns out to be wilder and more gruesome than you can imagine.

It's so weird for a woman to kill in this way. Usually it's poison or something.

Sub-par filmmaking... but the only video available on this lady. It's really unfortunate corporations like BBC don't make documentaries on any specific women serial killers.

Og forresten så synes jeg trøndersk er en nydelig dialekt. :-)

It's not hard to understand why she would kill the son of the landlord back home in Norway. He beat her until she miscarried because he didn't want to marry her. Brynhild's friends said they noticed a change in behavior after that... This is seriously an interesting lady. I like to believe that she got away. It makes her a legend in my eyes. :-)
