Step into 1866 Pennsylvania, where a beloved matchmaker harbored a deadly secret that would shock a nation still healing from Civil War wounds. Margaret O'Sullivan arranged over 200 marriages in post-war America—but four men who rejected her counsel died under mysterious circumstances. And every time a man died, so did her white poodle.
⚠️ WARNING: This video contains detailed discussions of historical poisoning cases, extortion, and death. Viewer discretion is advised.
What authorities discovered in Margaret's garden would expose one of the most calculated murder conspiracies in American history—a scheme that used a beloved pet as the perfect cover for systematic elimination. This is the true story of how a trusted community pillar became one of America's first documented female serial killers.
