Pamela Marie Hupp skød og dræbte Louis Gumpenberger i sit hjem i O'Fallon, Missouri, den 16. august 2016 – en sag der endte med livstid i fængsel.

Judy Buenoano, known as Florida's Black Widow, was executed on March 30, 1998, for a calculated series of murders spanning decades. The 54-year-old had poisoned her first husband, her son, and a boyfriend with arsenic while collecting approximately $240,000 in life insurance—crimes that made her the first woman executed in Florida since 1848.

Between 1914 and 1921, Tillie Klimek, a Polish American woman living in Chicago's Little Poland neighborhood, poisoned at least 14 people with arsenic, including three of her husbands. Arrested in 1922 at age 45, she became known as 'Mrs. Bluebeard' for her deadly matrimonial history.
