Elena

That was about it.

In 1915, she made the newspapers again, this time when she was discovered trying to hang herself in her room in Matawan.

On March 17th, hospital staff went into her room and found she had ripped a long strip from her bed sheet.

They found her very near death, but they were able to resuscitate her.

Lizzie Halliday made the news one final time on June 28th, 1918, when press around the country reported her death from Bright's disease at the age of 58.

She was described as the worst woman in the world, and the New York Times noted the four deaths she had known to have committed, but reminded readers, quote, there was a strong suspicion that she had murdered several others, including a former husband and a peddler, which was what they had talked about with the travelers.

So there was strong suspicion that she was involved in several other murders than the four that they were able to know that she had done.

Oh, I was like, holy shit.

Wow.

So brutal.

Like, so brutal and so sad because she was about to be married, about to leave the job.

And, like, everyone said, like, ugh, don't tell her.

Yeah, and she believed in Lizzie enough to be like, I can talk to her about this and she'll handle it.

Oh.

You just, you almost wish, and this was just her being a good person, you wish she just didn't tell her.

I know.

And just never came back.

And another person lost their life.

Yeah, it's a rough one.

It's tough.
