Busy lady
Raynella Dossett Leath is a busy lady. Allegedly. She is accused of killing two husbands; one by shooting him and making it look like a suicide, one by doping him up on a crazy amount of morphine and sending him to the barn so he could be killed by a cattle stampede.
Then she found out that her first husband had a child with another woman … so she lured that kid’s acting father to a barn (again with the barn!)…
telling him she had found some papers related to the child. Once there, she opened fire on him, according to his account, and chased him across the hayfields until she ran out of ammunition. According to Mr. Walker’s statement to the police, she said she would kill him and the child’s mother and raise the child herself. [NYT]
She is a Knoxville favorite. Most likely to succeed. In prison.
