Jeanne Weber was born in 1874 and had three children, two of whom died in 1905. In March of that year, she murdered four children by strangulation, including her third (and last) son and two nieces.
All of them showed visible signs of strangulation that were ignored by the physicians who examined the bodies.
Eight murder charges were filed, including all three of her children and two others who died in her care.
She was acquitted on February 1906 due to her brilliant lawyer and misguided jurors. She then started working as a babysitter, which resulted in two more deaths.
In 1908, a father found her strangling his 10-year-old son and had to punch her three times to make her let go of the lifeless body.
Weber was ultimately declared insane and spent two years in an asylum before hanging herself in 1910.
