Marie Becker

Marie Becker

This week, Marguerite takes us to Belgium to tell the chilling story of one of history’s most prolific female poisoners: Marie Becker. What began as the life of a hardworking seamstress transformed into a deadly campaign of greed, manipulation, and murder. Between 1933 and 1936, Becker poisoned at least eleven people and attempted to kill several others, earning the nicknames The Black Widow and The Belgian Borgia.

As wealthy widows and vulnerable acquaintances around her began falling mysteriously ill, few suspected the charming woman at their bedside. But when investigators uncovered a trail of poisoned victims, stolen jewelry, forged documents, and a deadly supply of digitalis, Belgium became captivated by one of the most sensational murder trials in its history.

Join Angela and Marguerite as they explore the life, crimes, and shocking downfall of a woman who turned caregiving into a weapon—and left an entire country wondering how many secrets could hide behind a sympathetic smile. This is the twisted tale of Marie Becker, the poisoner who fooled almost everyone... until she didn't.
