Deadly Women

- Season 5

(2012)

When a killer is in the pursuit of blood, being caught in their path is a dangerous place to be - unless you are the partner in crime. When these Deadly Women meet their mates, they not only gain a partner in life, but also in the hunt.

When the precious bond between parent and child breaks, the adult doesn't always come out on top. These young women were driven to brink of insanity by their parents and their lethal plans for revenge ended in murder.

Louise Vermilyea becomes so infatuated with dead bodies that she feels compelled to poison and kill 10 people over a period of 18 years. For this insatiable woman, the death of her victims isn't enough.

Most women mellow with age, but those who don't can turn particularly sour. Serving up death is a housewife's favorite dish, a granny's sweet demeanor masks a trail of murder and a possessive divorcee won't share her ex-husband.

Love in the Internet age is complicated; you never know who you'll meet. A surrogate uses love as a lure; a serial wife finds murder more profitable than divorce; and a housewife finds happiness in a gun. All trapped their victims in a 'Web of Death'.

Mothers break the sacred bond of their children in the murder of innocence. A mom wants to possess her children at any costs, a devout Christian mistakes delusions for divine messages and a woman keeps a lethal secret for decades.

When women possess irresistible charm, the men in their lives can be easily blinded to their dangerous ways. These women can use their fierce passion to love, but it can also be deadly.

Some women are so cold and brutal they don't need an excuse to kill. A Florida wife turns a misdemeanor into murder, a teenager lives out her morbid fantasies and a crime of passion ends in bloodshed.

Natasha Cornett and her Goth Gang.

Home is haven where we feel safe, but sometimes it can be dangerous. A brilliant student's hateful thoughts turn lethal, a woman desperate for love won't let children get in her way and a young chef cooks up a deadly plan.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and for these Deadly Women, it is the motto by which they live their lives, exacting their vengeance in cold blood when they kill and commit 'Ruthless Revenge'.

A mother's impulse to love and protect her child is a sentiment hard-wired into the brain. But when these Deadly Women go against the most primal and basic instinct to protect their young, we are forced to watch as they Â'Bury Their Babes'.

It is often said there is safety in numbers, but when these Deadly Women pair up with killer men who can match their evil thoughts and actions, they spiral into a world of sickening fantasies and the horror of Â'Kinky Killers'.

Manling "Ling" Williams smothered her two boys to death and brutally murdered her husband with a Katana sword so that she could start a new life with another man.

Mothers are role models for their sons, teaching self-worth, respect and the value of healthy relationships. But these bloodthirsty moms teach their sons to hate and kill.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. When a virtuous woman is seduced, a lover betrayed and a manipulative wife left behind, these Deadly Women exact their 'Eternal Revenge'.

Murder blackens the soul. And for these Deadly Women, it is their already darkened soul and disturbed minds that create a new level of horror when they shoot, beat, torture, burn and dismember their victims. These Deadly Women kill "Without Conscience".

A first love, a new love, and an old love are relationships most of us hold dear to our hearts. But for these heartless Deadly Women, love is unattainable. It is a gift that dies with their victim when they "Bury the Boyfriend".

Home is where the heart is, a place to welcome friends and gather families; full of warm memories and good times. But when these Deadly Women come to the door, their victims have no idea they have just heard the sound of a "Death Knock".

These Deadly Women have a dangerous charm. The men who meet them love them. But underneath lies the chilling darkness of a tortured mind. When loved and nurtured they shine, but when pushed too far these blushing brides become the "Brides of Blood".
