Black Widow plot
Follows the decade-long police investigation into one of Britain’s most dangerous female killers. For 20 years, Dena Thompson, known as ‘The Black Widow’, waged a sustained campaign of fraud, deceit, bigamy and murder. Using Lonely Hearts columns to lure a succession of husbands and dozens of lovers into her life, she was able to force them to give up their savings, their homes, their families and their freedom, based on her bizarre but convincing stories.
