Those who should have known her best knew her least. In the established tradition of black widows, Marie murdered her husband. It didnt stop there. Her murderous escapades undermined what should have been the most sacred of family relationships. When it appeared she would finally be brought to justice for her crimes, she disappeared and began life anew with an assumed identity. One persona after another, discarded when it no longer suited her needs.

Dennis Nilsen
Dennis Nilsen lived in London and picked up his victims in pubs. As Brian Masters, author of the definitive biography of Nilsen put it, he was “killing for company.” Before he ever killed, he’d experienced an erotic attraction to death, so he would spend hours lying in front of a mirror, pretending to be dead. There was something about the vulnerability that stirred in him an intense hunger. He also invited a few lovers to role-play his fantasy, but then things got more serious.
His first murder occurred in 1978. He strangled a man he barely knew with a necktie, completely caught up in the eroticism of having this kind of power over another, and then placed him beneath the floorboards of his apartment. Once having tasted the climatic pleasure of this activity, he found ways to repeat it. He continued to invite men to his home, strangling them, bathing the corpses, sometimes taking them to bed, usually attempting sexual contact, and finally butchering them or storing them in various places in his apartments. He especially loved the first night with them when he could have them in his bed before decomposition made them smelly and messy. He was enraptured with the fact that they couldn’t get up and leave. That meant that he was in total control. Sometimes after he bathed them, he’d then soak in the same water and then he would decide their fate: store them, sit them in a chair, or cut them up and distribute the parts. With experience as a butcher, he had no trouble dissecting them and boiling the flesh from their skulls. To him, the entire procedure was a loving act, the last that these men would know. That idea gave Nilsen a great deal of satisfaction. Often he flushed parts down the toilet, which eventually proved to be his undoing. When the septic system clogged in the building, an investigation led to Nilsen and without hesitation, he pointed out a closet where police found the dismembered parts of two different men. Another torso was found in his tea chest, along with a number of old bones, and he was arrested. He then confessed to killing 15 men over a period of five years, partly because the idea of them leaving his apartment made him feel alone and partly because he simply enjoyed it. In prison, he made drawings of their corpses and body parts.

Attack in Tokyo
Aum Shinrikyo, which is also known as Aum and Aleph, is a Japanese cult that combines tenets from Buddhism, Hinduism, and is obsessed with the apocalypse. The group made headlines around the world in 1995 when members carried out a chemical attack on the Tokyo subway system. A nerve agent, sarin, was released onto train cars, killing twelve and causing an estimated six thousand people to seek medical attention.
At the center of the group’s belief is reverence for Shoko Asahara, Aum’s founder, who says that he is the first “enlightened one” since Buddha. Asahara preached that the end of the world was near and that Aum followers would be the only people to survive the apocalypse, which he predicted would occur in 1996 or between 1999 and 2003. Asahara has claimed that the United States would hasten the Armageddon by starting World War III with Japan. At the time of the 1995 subway attack, the group claimed to have an estimated forty thousand members worldwide, with offices in the United States, Russia, and Japan.
During the morning rush hour on one of the world’s busiest commuter systems, Aum members put a liquid form of sarin, tightly contained in packages made to look like lunch boxes or bottled drinks, onto five cars on three separate subway lines that converged at the Kasumigaseki station, where several government ministries are located. The perpetrators punctured the packages with umbrellas and left them in subway cars and stations, where they began to leak a thick liquid. Witnesses said that subway entrances resembled battlefields as injured commuters lay gasping on the ground with blood gushing from their noses or mouths. Twelve members of Aum, including Aum founder Shoko Asahara, were sentenced to death for the subway attack.
The 1995 attack was the most serious terrorist attack in Japan ‘s modern history, causing massive disruption and widespread fear in a society that is virtually free of crime.
Sarin, which comes in both liquid and gas forms, is a highly toxic and volatile nerve agent the Nazi scientists developed in the 1930s. Chemical weapons experts say that sarin gas is five hundred times more toxic than cyanide gas. Although sarin is very complex and dangerous to make, experts say that the gas can be produced by a trained chemist with publicly available chemicals.
As early as five years before the March 1995 subway attack, the group attempted to carry out at least nine biological assaults—all failed—according to a 1998 New York Times investigation. Originally, Aum planned to massacre citizens by spraying botulin, the most lethal natural poison to humans, from buildings and modified delivery vans. Aum’s team of young scientists cultured and experimented with biological toxins, including botulin, anthrax, cholera, and Q fever. According to the CDC, Aum sent a fact-finding team to Zaire to study and collect Ebola virus samples in 1993. The transition to chemical weapons came after biological attacks failed.
After the subway attack, the State Department says that Japanese authorities reinvestigated and found Aum responsible for a mysterious attack—that later proved to be sarin—on a residential neighborhood in 1994 that killed seven and injured over one hundred people.
