Nannie Doss: The Giggling Granny

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the case of Nannie Doss, also known as the “Giggling Granny.” From 1927 to 1954, Doss poisoned and killed four of her five husbands – and was even suspected of killing her own family members along the way. By luring her love interests from “lonely hearts” newspaper columns and keeping up a sweet, smiley exterior, Nannie was able to kill undetected for years, with no one suspecting a thing. Candice explores how Nannie’s method of murder kept her under the radar, and why she felt compelled to kill her loved ones.
