Belle Sorenson Gunness (born as Brynhild Paulsdatter Størseth, November 11, 1859, Selbu, Norway- April 28, 1908 La Porte^[1], Indiana, United States) was one of America's most profligate known female serial killers.

At 5'8" ft tall^[1] and over 200 lb (91 kg), she was a physically strong Norwegian-born woman. She may have killed both of her husbands and all of her children (on different occasions), but she is known to have killed most of her suitors, boyfriends, and her two daughters, Myrtle and Lucy. Her apparent motives involved collecting life insurance benefits. Reports estimate that she killed more than twenty people over several decades—some claim more than one hundred—and possibly got away with it.
