This week in our series featuring women who kill, we discuss a mother with such a strong influence over her son she convinced him to kill with her. A lifetime of scheming and conning people turned sour when people started calling Sante Kimes out on her actions, and she decided they simply had to go. Her reign of terror resulted in at least three deaths.
