    Mommy Deadliest Anti-Freeze For A Husband. Pills For A Daughter. A Killer For A Mother

    It looked like a suicide. A man’s corpse on the bathroom floor – next to a half-empty glass of anti-freeze. But fingerprints on the glass belonged to the deceased’s wife, Stacey Castor. And a turkey baster in the garbage had police wondering if she force-fed the toxic fluid down her husband’s throat.

    In desperation, Stacey concocted a devious plan. She mixed a deadly cocktail of vodka and pills, then served it to her twenty-year-old daughter Ashley. The authorities would find Ashley with a suicide note, confessing to the anti-freeze murder. But Stacey’s plan backfired – because Ashley refused to die…

    Charged with murdering her second husband – and attempting to kill her oldest daughter – Stacey Castor sparked a media frenzy. But when police dug up her first husband’s grave – and found anti-freeze in his body, too – this New York housewife earned a nickname that would follow her all the way to prison. They called her “The Black Widow.” And with good reason.
