Canada – A Canadian woman nicknamed the “Black Widow” for her ability to persuade grieving widowers to marry her pleaded guilty to drugging a man she married days earlier.
Melissa Ann Shepard, 78, was charged last October after her latest husband, Fred Weeks, fell ill at a bed and breakfast in Nova Scotia four days after they married.
She pleaded guilty to administering a noxious substance and failing to provide the necessities of life.

Shepard became known as the “Black Widow” because of her prior convictions stemming from her past relationships. Full Article
