    Rewritten Woman: Anne Perry

    She published 14 bestselling novels before anyone knew who she really was. In 1954, two teenage best friends in Christchurch, New Zealand committed a murder that shocked the country, just because they couldn't bear the thought of being separated. One of those girls served her time, changed her name, crossed the world, and quietly became one of the best-selling mystery novelists on the planet. Then, forty years later, an unknown filmmaker named Peter Jackson made a movie. It launched Kate Winslet's career. It also ended a secret that had lasted decades. This week, I'm telling the story of a fantasy world two girls built to survive their childhoods, the crime that grew out of it, the trial that scandalized a nation, and the reinvention that followed. Then we close it out the way we always do: pulling her birth chart to see exactly what the stars had to say about a woman built to keep a secret. 🔪 A friendship turned obsession  📖 A hidden identity, and the movie that broke it  ✨ An astrology reading that might explain it all Don't miss out on all things Femme Fatal Podcast!

    Killer Barbie: Karla Homolka

    The press called her one half of "Ken and Barbie" a nickname that stuck long after the trial ended. This episode traces how that image was built, sold, and eventually picked apart across film, documentary, and courtroom testimony. Then we turn to the stars for a different kind of read, not as explanation or excuse, but as another lens on two people whose astrology, like their story, resists easy answers.

    Lesbian Vampire Killer: Tracey Wigginton

    This week on The Femme Fatal, we're traveling to Australia to examine one of the country's most notorious murder cases. In 1989, Tracey Wigginton became known around the world as "The Lesbian Vampire Killer" after she and three accomplices lured a stranger to the banks of the Brisbane River, where he was brutally murdered in a crime prosecutors said was fueled by her obsession with drinking human blood. We'll separate fact from sensationalism, explore how the media turned her into a gothic legend, and uncover the real tragedy behind the headlines. Then, in our Horoscopes & Homicides segment, we'll examine how her Leo Sun and Scorpio Moon paint a symbolic portrait of identity, obsession, and the allure of the forbidden.

    Cocaine Godmother: Griselda Blanco

    Griselda Blanco wasn't just a drug trafficker. She was one of the most feared and powerful figures in the history of the cocaine trade.
