omg wat a bitch she was

[DareDarlington]

She's clearly a narcissist, who killed for money AND for convenience. When the people in her life didn't do anything for her anymore she just got rid of them like they were nothing. The whole thing is so tragic!

I hope she wet her knickers as they hung the bitch!

Could the presenter stop moving like a duck when she talks. Nobody does that when talking, and no, it doesn't make the show more dramatical.

@RoentgenRhod *clap clap clap* Is it weird that in my head that was sung in children's voices?

@DareDarlington I know what a Narcissist is, but again, she did collect the money i jus doubt that m,oney was the whole point of killing.

[DareDarlington]

@K3val Narcissists see people as toys in their life; people are there only to serve their needs. She's a schemer who sought out weak people to get what she wanted. Check out Belle Gunness, she killed between 25 and 40 men --luring them in with possible marriage, and once they got there, she would kill them and collect insurance money.

@DareDarlington i Doubt she killed for money, she needed it, but it might not be the whole point for killing, i never heard of serial killer killing for money, that would be unusual

Ahh, yet another reason to hate my middle name.

@xoxAmberDarliinxox Or was she one of Britain's first feminists? Fighting a desperate struggle against an oppressive patriarchy?
