E190: BLACK WIDOW – Emma Jean Raine

This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Emma Jean Raine, a woman who was convicted of murdering her second husband, but is suspected of murdering her first and third husbands as well.

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)

First, we dive into the setting (06:35), the killers early life (19:03) and the timeline (20:13). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (29:56), “Where are they now?” followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (39:11).  

As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (47:49). 

This episode was researched and scripted by Wendynbeth Williams, and edited by Minnie Williams.

Carol Costello Present: Blind Rage. In this podcast, journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her.
