[Music] full rural  town but not on June 10 2008. [Music] 1 year old Miriam helmick comes  home to a nightmare [Music] when Miriam came home she saw her  husband in a pool of blood [Music] he called 9-1-1 there's a bit of a robbery  I'll be my husband's dad nothing can be done for 62 year old Allen oh Alan was shot  in the back of the head and left to die and quick quick slow quick quick slow very good  this is a basic salsa just three years earlier the couple meet on the Dance Floor ladies you

want to  make this it's a exaggerate your hips Allen takes up ballroom lessons after the sudden death of  his beloved wife Miriam is the instructor [Music] Allen's first wife loved to dance so  when he joined the dance studio to take up ballroom dancing classes it was more in  her memory somewhat that he did that [Music] that's how he started to get back into life I  guess and kind of grieve and mourn and move on and one two three Miriam proves to be the  perfect instructor more ways than one [M

usic] okay you'll get it better with real estate  from property development clearly yeah just follow my body and you'll get it  she waltzes her way into Alan's heart it was somewhat of a whirlwind romance  they started spending a lot of time together were inseparable and then we're married Miriam strikes it lucky real estate developer Alan is a multi-millionaire that's all I want to do is and wants to share  his success with his new bride he did spoil her I think he thought okay I lost the love 

of my life and my gosh I've been blessed to have found somebody else the shrewd  businessman throws caution to the wind he buys Miriam a horse farm and her own Dance  Studio [Music] friends thought that he was crazy they said you're gonna lose everything that you  own you know how to play me and he said well I'm just gonna do this because it's what my wife wants  Alan was looking for a soul mate and a companion Miriam was looking for a Payday Miriam can  tread the boards but she can't balance t

he books dance studio and farm are soon Financial  flops but she doesn't tell Alan he believed it was financially successful  at first but that business was losing money to cover her failings Miriam starts helping  herself to her husband's money Miriam had been stealing money from Allen by forging  his name on checks about 150 000 worth Allen's normally on top of his business affairs but just months after getting  married he is constantly sick for a good two-month span he was not doing well  he

was in bed a lot he often felt dizzy Allen's grown-up children are worried by his sudden  downturn his family and his friends tried to speak to Ellen but he was head over heels  for her and really didn't listen but Alan doesn't know his wife as well as he thinks  stealing his money isn't Miriam's only Secret questions surround the death of her first  husband Jack Giles five years earlier Miriam and her first husband Jack were laying in  bed and supposedly he killed himself with a gun shooting yo

urself in the head while your  wife is lying next to you is odd enough but the crime scene raises more suspicions he was a left-handed person yet the  gun was in his right hand at the time it just didn't appear to be a suicide to us  and we do not believe it was Miriam's first husband's suicide is quite suspicious to me it  was probably murder but when she got away with it it emboldened her by early 2008 Miriam  controls Alan's money and his life [Music] she isolates him from family and friends

Miriam  always had his phone would answer the calls tell the people that Alan was not around or was  too busy but Banks don't like being ignored when Allen's accounts go into the red  demands for payments start flooding in the bank was trying to contact Alan during  the time his bank accounts had been depleted Miriam realizes her fraud will soon be  exposed she needs a solution fast [Music] Grand Junction Colorado in April 2008 Miriam and Alan helmick go for  a drive [Music] she's stolen a hundr

ed and fifty thousand dollars from her husband  but he has no idea how are you feeling terrible and if she has anything to do with it he  never will Miriam had rented a movie and in that movie was a car scene where the bad guy put a rag  in a gas tank and lit it up and the car exploded [Music] as Alan waited in the car he started to  notice a smoke coming out of the back Flames were coming out of the gas tank he I  think he grabbed a Coke tried to put it out blowing up a car is easy in  Hollywoo

d but not in real life tried to do Kate fantastic things  that she saw on the big screen that's how Miriam saw life  a movie and she was a player Miriam wants to kill her husband to solve  her money problems and she's not giving up just over a month later on the morning  of June 10 2008 she's strong again stable door open what no Alan was in  the kitchen appeared to be looking out a window would have had  his back toward her [Music] she shot him in the back of the head Miriam  tries to make it l

ook like a robbery gone wrong then goes shopping for an alibi she was seen on video surveillance in several  stores [Music] she ran various errands very planned had receipts for the places that  she went Miriam left several messages on Alan's phone telling him that she loved him  that she couldn't wait to see him hi Alan um she told him in a message that she was going to  return home because he hadn't shown up yet [Music] on her return home Miriam plays The Grieving Widow  Miriam really thought

as most Psychopaths do that they're smarter than the police but investigators  aren't fooled the crime scene is all wrong they noticed right away that nothing had been stolen  and they were immediately suspicious that it was either a staged homicide or a stage suicide  Miriam comes up with a plan to prove there is a killer on the loose Miriam had indicated that she  was being stalked and was fearful that the same people that had killed Ellen were now attempting  to kill her Miriam even shows pol

ice evidence of a killer inside the card is a handwritten note  that said Alan was first your next run run run oh my God it's an unusual card and police  tracked down where it was bought and when security pulled their surveillance videos  and found Miriam coming up to the register with the card purchasing the card and they were  able to link the receipt for that card on that particular day to that video with the time with  Miriam [Music] unwittingly Miriam's just starred in her very own movie po

lice plan to roll out  the red carpet Miriam's purchase of the card the scene of the crime the alienation  the missing money everything began to point in the direction that Miriam  was the killer of Ellen helmick the game's up in December 2009 Miriam helmick is  convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life and an additional 108 years for 14  counts of fraud Miriam is cold calculated heartless somebody that took advantage of a  very nice man and his family hi there is love in Miriam hel

mick's dark heart but it's for  money not men she had everything she wanted the dance studio her horses I think she just  wanted all of that without Alan around [Music] to Miriam men supposable she liked  their bank accounts but not them [Music] they say money can't buy  happiness but I want a bigger ring but some dark Hearts can't be happy  without it she wanted to get rich no matter the cost aren't you a vision that  kind of person is known as a psychopath Streetsville Ohio 1908. the daughter

of a humble farmer is  dressing for Success Clara Greene is a 24 year old ahead of her time she  had a high school degree did graduate and she also had two years of business college  the budding writer is priming herself for a life beyond the hay bales she wanted to go to  the city she wanted money she wanted to be to be a lady she wanted to live a much better  lifestyle than she'd had when she was growing up for a female in 1908 the fastest track to  riches is to become the woman behind the man

and Clara's childhood sweetheart Robert  Gibson has all the right credentials he was very well educated became a teacher  he was a likable guy with a personality outgoing personality and it was easy to  see why Clara would fall in love with him will you marry me his marriage proposal is  accepted on one condition but I want a big ring Clara and Robert were deeply in love and they seem to have a happy marriage one day  I'll buy you whatever you want well between them but she wanted money  she wa

nted a different life than what he was able to give her on a teacher's salary of Missouri Robert won't make their  Fortune teaching and Clara's not getting rich writing for newspapers but  she has a plan she wanted a nice thing she wanted nice clothes and she came up  with this scheme to get rich became more varied diverse yeah that's great they would  travel around the countryside write stories about the history of towns and sell them  by subscription and make money that way we have to cover th

is territory well why people  have money there the Gold Miner subscribers when Clara set her mind on something it  got done we're going to be rich Clara but the business is a failure Robert we're never gonna will  Clara we just have to be persistent Clara awaits 12 long years to see the money  then one day it walks right through her front door right this is my wife Clara [Music]  Frank Carl was the son of a Kansas farmer Alonzo Carl he was a big robust healthy guy  aren't you a vision nice to me

et you Frank one of these very likable kinds of men will you  be joining us for dinner it smells delicious I I'd love to Frank's a Salesman can I get you  a beer and he seems like a good one she was given the impression that Frank had a lot of money  [Music] and that's a quality Clara likes in a man Clara was unhappy with Robert now had another  man in line if you will and was ready to move on March 1920. Robert is suddenly  struck down with the flu luckily Claire is on hand to provide constant

care Robert is never going to feel better Robert Gibson  officially died of influenza and that was the brother The Grieving Widow  wants no fuss and no funeral he died at midnight by noon the next day Clara had  pecked up his body and shipped it off so there was some speculation about why  that happened it was just kind of strange in depth Robert finally delivers the riches  he'd promised she inherited from him about three thousand dollars which in nineteen twenty dollars  would have been about

thirty five thirty six thousand dollars something in that neighborhood  Clara has her long-awaited windfall but ambition is a hungry Beast five months after the death  of a husband and she's marrying another man it didn't look good for Clara but to  this day no one had suspected anything [Music] Indiana Clara Gibson a not a typical grieving Widow  in fact she's not even Clara Gibson anymore to my gorgeous bride the light of my life  just months after the sudden death of her first husband Robert

she falls into the  arms of his Rich friend she married Frank Carl and the newlyweds moved to Indiana to  a small rural community Philadelphia Indiana it was considered untoward [Music] for someone to get married so quickly after  having lost a a husband how long has it been they were a little suspicious of her what  were her emotives why did she want to get married so quickly but Clara knows the only  way to get ahead is to get a husband women at this time you know they had to be dependent upon

a  husband or somebody to provide you with an income the newlyweds soon discovers  Frank is all talk and no money here read it two months after the  marriage Clara wants a divorce she declared that one of the reasons for  getting a divorce was that Frank had lied to her and it turned out he didn't have any money  I don't know wait Frank desperately tries to appease his wife it's an insurance policy  it's the two thousand dollars he managed to get her to call off the divorce by making her the  b

eneficiary of his life insurance policy [Music] like Clara's first husband Frank's now more  valuable dead than alive and he has prospects of an inheritance Frank invited his father who was 85 years old to  come live with him so they could help care for him Frank's elderly father Alonso  is wealthy you're looking well fear is a fell off Alonso Carl had a large  farm out in Kansas it was over 500 Acres the farm would be split up between the remaining  Suns with the prospect of a big inheritance C

lara is happy to look after Alonso in his later years  and that happens sooner than expected [Music] alonso's Health deteriorated shortly after  he moved in with Frank and Clara but no one really suspected anything because of his age the  caring wife is using her unique home remedy again the doctors couldn't figure  out what was going on with him why he was suddenly developed  this mysterious illness [Music] basically he had kidney liver and urinary problems he only lasted of a few days Alonzo C

lara's record as a  nurse is not improving [Music] as Frank Mourns his father Clara  is already counting the money I'm afraid I have some bad news she hopes you  inherit the Family Farm back in Kansas and then she would have access to that  estate into the money that it might bring Frank her father left everything to his stepson  in Denver what but the joke was on Clara Alonso left all of his money to someone else  the irony gods were laughing that day I'm sure Clara felt rather cheated but the 

deed was done and there was no way to undo it Clara still hasn't found her pot of gold  [Music] and a pattern is starting to form and sure enough in August of 1921  Frank began to complain of chest pains the neighbors were very suspicious  you'd had Alonso die on July the third and now in August just a few weeks later  thanks Claire oh no that one's for Frank here is Frank dying with the same symptoms unlike his elderly father Frank  fights the illness for weeks as her husband lies bedridden  C

lara invites friends over [Music] but this is this is Solemn vigil [Music] I'm sad will you be joining us for dinner  she definitely wasn't by his bedside wasn't the Weeping widow or to be Widow so she was  kind of exhibiting some some strange Behavior not good it's rather uncommon for neighbors  and townsfolk to be suspicious of someone unless they had good reason two weeks after falling ill Frank Carl  finally dies Clara plays Widow a second time Frank Carl's life insurance policy was  two tho

usand dollars that's like twenty five thousand dollars in today's money but Clara  underestimates the power of neighborhood watch Frank's friends put their suspicions down on paper they were convinced that she had killed her  husband and probably her father-in-law as well Claire began receiving Anonymous  letters that charged her with murder one getting letters the prosecutor to tell him that there was  some untoward activity that was going on with Clara and as far as the deaths of Frank and  Al

onso Carl that this was suspicious [Music] authorities open an investigation into Frank  and alonso's deaths [Music] they exhumed the bodies and brought them back to Indianapolis  and where forensic tests were done [Music] screens of arsenic in Frank Carl's body you only  need two in order to poison a person [Music] that was enough arsenic to kill an entire jury  and have plenty left over for the judge [Music] it takes a special kind of person to Stand By  and Watch someone suffer [Music] especi

ally after they're the one that dished out the suffering that  kind of person is known as a psychopath no feeling no empathy [Music] investigators only need to  prove one murder to put Clara Carl Behind Bars in 1922 she has tried and convicted of  poisoning her second husband Frank Carl she is sentenced to life Clara Caro was a  cold calculating just Wicked person that killed those who were close to her in order  to kind of support herself but her deceptive charm isn't finished yet in 1937 she c

onvinces  authorities she is dying of a terminal illness after serving 15 years in prison Clara is  released on parole she lives a healthy life for the next 30 years if Clara hadn't been  caught and stopped after killing her second husband the body count probably would have been a  lot higher poisoners with a big payday don't stop the seaside town of Torquay England 2011.
