Before there was Netflix and Chill, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley had X-rated Films and Murder. And before you think this could be some sort of Bonnie and Clyde, romanticized musical: This is a story about wanting to "commit the perfect murder," obsession, a touch of Nazism, and body dumping. These are not the moors of a Bronte sisters novel. There are no musical numbers in sight.
It might be a Lifetime movie, though, now that I think about it.
For my first true crime story, where we know who did it (although the why might be a little fuzzy), I decided to go with someone you probably haven't heard of.... And is a woman.
Male serial killers get a lot of attention, but Magdalena ended up with the title "High Priestess of Blood." The lesson here is: anyone can be a serial killer. And I would probably like to add the caveat that anyone can be a serial killer, especially when they're involved in a cult.
