14: Mother Teresa and Judy Buenoano
No Ordinary Women - A podcast by Rose Stein and Lynn Pontillo - Thursdays

Rose tells us a heartwarming Christmas story about Mother Teresa….or does she? Turns out, Mother Teresa was pretty controversial. While she did a lot of good by opening homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and tuberculosis while also running soup kitchens, mobile clinics, hospice care, hospitals, orphanages, and schools, she also believed that it was God’s will that the poor suffer and refused to give medication that would help them. Lynn tells us about Judy Buenoano, the female serial killer who prosecutors nicknamed ‘Black Widow.’ She killed everyone she loved in order to collect insurance money, and she almost got away with it.Thank you to our sources!Judy in jailJudy in courtJudy's mug shotJudy Buenoano - Crime MuseumThe Black Widow | Middle District of Florida | United States District CourtJudy Buenoano: The 'Black Widow' Serial Killer Of '70s FloridaMother Teresa | Canonization, Awards, Facts, & Feast Day | BritannicaMother Teresa BiographicalBiography Mother Teresa | Biography OnlineMother Teresa's Disturbing Legacy The Catholic Church Tried To Cover Up
