62. Wisconsin's Angel of Death: Charlotte Lamb

During the Minnesota Sioux Uprising of 1862, which created a stream of settlers fleeing their homes to get out of the way of an advancing warpath, a young mother protecting her small children became a national hero; the poster child for a loving, devoted mother. A decade later, now living in the western Wisconsin community of Trimbelle, in Pierce County, that same young mother, Charlotte Lamb, started making headines of a different kind. Her family, as well as others in close proximity to her, began turning up dead. Investigations into her past in Vermont, as well as her actions in Wisconsin over the previous 10 years, created shock and horror when the scope of her potential actions came into focus. Scott and Micky discuss the case of Charlotte Lamb, a lesser-known name in our history, though just may have been the most evil of us all. The opening banter entails a listener story that is strikingly simiar to a legendary story of the notorius Summerwind Mansion. Hear it all, on Episode 62 of Badger Bizarre, "Wisconsin's Angel of Death: Charlotte Lamb."
