Overview
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Growing up in La Porte, Ind., Andrea Simmons couldn't help hearing tales of the city's most notorious former resident, a so-called \"black widow\" and \"Lady Bluebeard\" who amassed a fortune during a devious campaign of arson and murder at the turn of the 20th century. One theory suggests [Belle Gunness] fled to California, assumed a new identity and later was charged with similar crimes. If the body exhumed in Illinois turns out not to be Gunness, Simmons' investigation may take her to the West Coast to seek samples from that murderer's grave, or from the grave of Gunness' sister, who suspiciously moved there from the Midwest after Gunness' death or disappearance. Meanwhile, in the LaPorte area, plans are being made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gunness house fire. Simmons is serving on a committee that is planning a spring lecture series and raising money to place headstones on the graves of some of Belle's victims. Simmons will speak about her work on April 12. A graveside service for the Gunness children and a reception at the La Porte County Historical Society Museum are scheduled for April 26.
