Episode 199: In all the recent photos I could find of Melissa Ann Shepard, she looks like an ordinary, little old lady. But Melissa, Millie to some, has a criminal record a mile long, including convictions for fraud, impersonation and forgery. But, she is best known for, luring men via the internet, drugging them and taking control of all aspects of their lives. Melissa also caused the death of one of her husbands in Nova Scotia, was suspected in another’s death and at least two more men came close to dying.Sources:Melissa Ann Shepard - WikipediaCBC News Indepth: Melissa Ann FriedrichMelissa Friedrich | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderersHRP News — High Risk Offender Notification | Halifax.caInternet Black Widow Melissa Ann Shepard arrested in Halifax | CBC NewsThe internet black widow: Is this Canada’s most dangerous woman? - BBC NewsHow a smitten man came face to face with the ‘Internet Black Widow’ - The Globe and MailThis 80-year-old ‘Black Widow,’ who lured lonesome old men to horrible fates, is out of prison again - The Washington PostNational Film Board of Canada — Why Women Kill‘Internet Black Widow’ Melissa Ann Weeks charged with attempted murder in N.S. | Globalnews.ca‘Black Widow’s’ ex-boyfriend warns men as she gets out of prison: ‘Watch out’ | Globalnews.caP.E.I.’s infamous ‘Black Widow’ facing attempted murder charges | SaltWireVictims of ‘Internet Black Widow’ concerned over her release in N.S. | CTV NewsPrison for Women’s Invisible Minority | Journal of Prisoners on PrisonsUnknown Gender History: Melissa Friedrich (Weeks), “The Internet Black Widow” of Nova Scotia - 2012Unknown Gender History: Black Widow Serial KillersAlex Strategos: ‘Millie Weeks’, AKA Melissa Friedrich, The Internet Black Widow - InquisitrMelissa Ann Shepard : Internet Black Widow (2012) - the fifth estate — YouTubeMelissa-Ann-Shepard | National PostRead Webs of Black Widows Online by Pete Katz | BooksRead Lady Killers Online by Tori Telfer | BooksRead The Craigslist Killer Online by Crystal Majkowski | BooksTrue Crime: Canadian Monsters: 25 Horrific Canadian Serial Killers eBook : Keller, Robert: Amazon.ca: Kindle StoreRaw Video: ‘Internet Black Widow’ appears in court — YouTubeOnline Dating and Dating App Safety Tips | RAINNSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine Learn more about your ad choices.
