  • Summary

  • Episode 94: Jane Toppan - Serial Killers.

    Jane Toppan, also known as "Jolly Jane," stands out as one of the most chilling figures in the grim history of serial killers. Born Honora Kelley in 1854, her story is a disturbing journey from a troubled childhood to a deadly career as a nurse, leaving a trail of death in her wake. However, Toppan's case is particularly disturbing because she wielded a profession associated with care and compassion; beneath her seemingly jovial and trustworthy exterior, lay a deep-seated need for power and control, which she gratified by ending the lives of those in her care. Her life and crimes reveal the unsettling capacity for cruelty in individuals who appear outwardly benign.
