## Resource

Between 1907 and 1916, a charming caregiver named Amy Archer-Gilligan operated a quiet rest home in Windsor, Connecticut. But behind the respectable facade of the Archer Home for Elderly People, a nightmare was unfolding. At least 60 residents died under suspicious circumstances—many within weeks of paying substantial “lifetime care” fees. Their cause of death? Systematic poisoning with arsenic and strychnine. In this deep-dive episode, we explore one of the most prolific—yet forgotten—female serial killers in American history. Amy Archer-Gilligan murdered vulnerable elderly patients for profit over nearly a decade, and her crimes directly inspired the classic play and film “Arsenic and Old Lace.”
