This week we will be diving into the case of Clementine Barnabet, the first African American serial killer. Though she was only convicted of one slaying, she claimed to have brought an end to almost 35 lives. Even in the early 1900's this case caused a news frenzy, from the notoriety of her being a Black murderess to the mention of strange voodoo practices.
After reading and preparing for this case, my conclusion may be a little cloudy.
