She was a nurse in the early 1900s who "experimented" with drugs on her patients, leading to 31 confirmed deaths — though she's suspected of killing over 100. While on trial, she said, "If I had been a married woman, I probably would not have killed all of those people. I would have had my husband, my children, and my home to take up my mind."
