Deadly Women

- Season 8

(2015)

Lizzie Borden, American most infamous murderess. Born into a wealthy respected family, Lizzie was a quiet, Sunday school teacher - that is until she took an ax and hacked her stepmother and and father to death. Or did she?

Doris Ann Carlson is an Arizona woman living for her mother-in-law, Lynne Carlson, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. While Doris is supposed to be caring for Lynne, she and her husband David instead use Lynne for her money. When the money runs out, Doris hires two young men to stab her mother-in-law to death, but Lynne doesn't succumb to her injuries for six months. Doris is sentenced to death for plotting the murder, but it is reduced to life. Amber Bray is an intelligent and ambitious high school senior who falls for an older, high school dropout named Jeff Ayers...

When these women fell out of love they didn't walk away; they chose a permanent separation with financial benefits. They all wanted to be single but with no strings attached; they were 'Self Made Widows'.

Beauty is only skin deep; scratch the surface and you could find an ugly soul. A gorgeous girl preys on an elderly man, a cabaret star performs a killer finale, and a farmer's wife harvests husbands. These Deadly Women get their way "If Looks Could Kill".
