Marie Hilley on Unsolved Mysteries???

[tanya]

Can anyone tell me if they remember a story on Marie Hilley.
She was a poisoner from Alabama who died after escaping prison.
A tv movie with Judith Light starring called WIFE ,
MOTHER ,MURDERER was made about her.

So if anyone recalls that being on UNSOLVED let me know. Also does anyone know of the story of a woman called "Bonnie" who worked at stores then stole other employees identification before robbing the stores?
That was one of my fav stories....so if anyone knows more or what the womans real name was it would be great!!!

Marie Hilley is actually featured on the Unsolved Mysteries Bizarre Murders DVD. I found the TV movie to be quite creepy, especially the end where she dies. One of the odd things about this case is that Hilley apparently didn't start killing until her early forties. Usually, depraved people such as her start their killing careers much earlier, don't they?

Yes, that was Bonnie Wilder, well she went by that name. She ran the same scam in Florida and some other states. To my knowledge she hasn't been caught.

If our moderator Crystaldawn answers this, you'll might see a familiar face though

I can think of at least one serial killer who became a killer past the age of 40: David Carpenter, aka The Trailside Killer. Although he had already been a violent felon, having served time in prison for attacking women, Carpenter didn't become a murderer until he was in his late 40s. From 1979 to 1981, he stalked and killed hikers in California.

So in response to your question, yes, depraved people tend to start their killing careers early in life. That is usually the case, but not always.
