Vera Renczi
Vera Renczi, of Romania or Hungary, reportedly confessed to poisoning 35 individuals—including her two husbands, multiple lovers, and her son—with arsenic during the 1920s.〔Mary Ellen Snodgrass: Encyclopedia of kitchen history. 549. ISBN 978-1-57958-380-4〕 The earliest report published in the USA was in May, 1925.〔("Another Lucretia Borgia Found", Kingston Daily Freeman )〕 The story has surfaced repeatedly, but without traceable details such as specific dates of her birth, marriages, arrest, conviction, incarceration or death. Most sources place the murders at Berkerekul, Yugoslavia (present-day Serbia), but no such location can be securely identified. In 1972, the Guinness Book of World Records found no authoritative sources to support the claim that 35 people were killed by Renczi in early 20th-century Romania. The story of Vera Renczi may have originated as a fiction or a hoax.
==Early life==
According to some accounts, Renczi was born in Bucharest in 1903, but in view of the dates of her alleged crimes, a date in the late 19th century would be more appropriate. The accounts of her life are lacking in verifiable documentary supporting evidence. Her mother died when she was 13 and she moved with her father to Bercicherecul Mare, today Zrenjanin, Voivodina, Northern Yugoslavia where she attended a boarding school.〔(Crime Time ) 〕 By the age of fifteen, she had become increasingly unmanageable by her parents and had frequently run away from home with numerous boyfriends, many of whom were significantly older than she was.〔Newton, Michael. ''The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.'' page 198. Checkmark Books. 2000. ISBN 0-8160-3979-8〕 Early childhood friends described Renczi as having an almost pathological desire for constant male companionship and possessing a highly jealous and suspicious nature.〔Joseph Geringer, "(Black Widows: Veiled in Their Own Web of Darkness )", CrimeLibrary.com〕
Shortly before the age of twenty, her first marriage was to a wealthy Austrian banker named Karl Schick, many years her senior. She bore him a son named Lorenzo.〔〔 Left at home daily while her older husband worked, she began to suspect that her husband was being unfaithful. One evening, in a jealous rage, Renczi poisoned his dinner wine with arsenic and began to tell family, friends, and neighbors that he had abandoned her and their son. After approximately a year of "mourning", she then declared that she had heard word of her supposedly estranged husband's death in a car accident.〔
