Deadly Women - Season 8

Lizzie Borden, America's most infamous murderess. Born into a wealthy respected family, Lizzie was a quiet, Sunday school teacher - that is until she took an ax and hacked her stepmother and and father to death. Or did she?

Most children value their mother's enduring love, but few are only concerned with a different kind of maternal support: money. These Deadly Women prove all they care about is "Mom's Money''.

Youth is no drawback to being a cold-hearted killer. For some young women taking a life is merely child's play. These twisted girls proved you're "Never Too Young" to be Deadly Women.

Love is usually a game for two -- when three try to play, somebody will lose out. An obsessed wife fixates on revenge, a lustful affair breeds a wicked plot, and a wealthy housewife hides more than skeletons in her closet.

To get away with murder, sometimes the best disguise is a smile. With charm and a kind word, these Deadly Women hide in plain sight, daring the law to "Catch me, if you Can".

When some women lust for money, it costs family and friends more than their bank balance. Putting money above lives, these Deadly Women have a "Hunger for Cash".

When these women fell out of love they didn't walk away; they chose a permanent separation with financial benefits. They all wanted to be single but with no strings attached; they were "Self Made Widows".

When these women were betrayed, they demanded payback. A crazed mother took a custody battle too far, a scorned lover wiped out her competition, and a sex addict stepped on everyone in her way. They settled their scores by wreaking "Lover's Revenge".

These women's actions were so cruel they were almost unbelievable. Their callous acts proved they were "Heartless".

Being the "other woman" is a lonely life. Some turn rejection into rage. A call girl craved the high life, a teen mom eradicated her rival, and a lesbian love affair ripped a family apart. These Deadly Women refused to play Second Best.

For these women, one good man wasn't enough. A middle-aged woman used looks to prey on elderly gentlemen; an army wife didn't want a soldier but a squad; and a serial wife cooks up meals to die for. These Deadly Women married for the money, honey.

Some women need to dominate, even if they have to kill. An Iowa divorcee stages a home invasion; Jealousy and alcohol prove a lethal mix for for a UK mom; and a drug kingpin won't let anyone stand in her way. These Deadly Women are as "Cold as Ice".

Beauty is only skin deep; scratch the surface and you could find an ugly soul. A gorgeous girl preys on an elderly man, a cabaret star performs a killer finale, and a farmer's wife harvests husbands. These Deadly Women get their way "If Looks Could Kill".

When some brides vowed to love and honor their husbands, they lied. These Deadly Women made a mockery of marital commitment. They only promised "To Have and To Kill".

Some women tread a fine line between anger and insanity. A bondage queen punishes her rival, a teenager wreaks fiery revenge, and a doctor prescribes a lethal cure for her problems. These Deadly Women are damaged goods, but are they "Mad or Bad"?

Love brings hope and happiness, but broken hearts can leave a trail of blood and tears. When lovers and friends dump these women, they take the ultimate revenge. These Deadly Women prove hell hath no fury like a woman "Scorned".

Some women must always get their way. A seductress has men and women under her spell, a churchgoer finds a new form of faith, and a matriarch rules with an iron rod. These Deadly Women want power at any price, because they demand "Total Control".

Some women's feminine wiles mask their true natures. On the surface these women appear fun, but if you cross them they turn lethal. When these Deadly Women felt let down, they took revenge and revealed their "Hidden Rage".

When it came to murder, these women thought two minds were better than one. They were the masterminds, but didn't want to get their hands dirty. For these Deadly Women, it took "Two to Terminate".

Some killers don't go far to find their victims. Driven by revenge, greed and family "honor", these women turned on their own. When these Deadly Women struck, they kept it "In the Family".
