Amelia Dyer was one of the worst serial killers Britain ever produced. She was known as a 'baby farmer,' but she murdered the children trusted to her care.
She was hanged in Victorian times for her crimes.
Estimates of her victims range as high as four hundred.

Amelia Dyer??? I don't think I have ever heard of her......ok....I know I haven't. Four hundred??? Good grief!!!!
Looked her up.........born in Bristol England........mentions she has a family but not really specific....or at least the story I looked up.......got locked up for awhile but then got out and right back to it.......had to move around a bit.....I'm sure once word gets around that every baby you keep dies......it probably does put a damper on other people trusting your with theirs........Wow......could range as high as 400 hundred........
See people like to say that things or people now are so horrible.....I think people have always been horrible......just now with the system of news we have we can get stories instantly and from all over the world.

She kept moving around the country quite a lot, Sadie. That's how she got away with it for so long!
