Edith Murray

Edith Murray (? – 1969) was an American woman suspected of fatally poisoning three of her husbands and two of her children for insurance money. She was later arrested in connection to deaths in April of 1922, but released due to a lack of evidence. She then died in 1969. Suspicious deaths In 1903, Edith Murray lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her first husband and two daughters. During the same year, her two daughters died after consuming poisonous tablets left unguarded in the house. No one was arrested for the deaths, as they were assumed to be accidental. Shortly after the incident, Murray divorced her husband. Murray married her second husband, a Pittsburgh Pharmacist. The couple had two daughters together, born in 1907 and 1908. Their marriage ended during World War 1 after they divorced. Although Murray's second husband was never poisoned, he stated that Murray had an odd obsession with collecting insurance. Murray married her third husband in Pittsburgh and later moved with him and her daughters to Cleveland, Ohio. In Cleveland, her husband got a high-paying job, which included a $1,200 insurance policy as a perk. A week after the policy went into effect, her husband passed out at work and died. Before his death, he was described as being in good health.
