The Black Widow

Once you're under her spell
Things ain't gonna end well

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) -- Police may have ignored a warning years ago that a woman with five dead spouses was trying to hire a hit man to kill one of the men, investigators in North Carolina said Monday.

Authorities charged 76-year-old Betty Neumar last month with one count of solicitation of murder in the July 1986 death of Harold Gentry.

...Neumar has been married five times since the 1950s, but each union ended with the death of her husband. Investigators are urging police elsewhere to look into those deaths.

We haven't heard much from major dad of late. Is this article just a coincidence?

The dateline on the original story was Albemarle, NC - my home town!
