Velma Barfield became the first woman executed in the United States since 1962. What did she do?

She was executed on the 2nd of November, 1984

Actually, Velma is one of the most famous female serial killers in the United States. She confessed to 6 murders! The woman poisoned her mother, her husband and four elderly people, though, in the last moments of her life she apologized for "all the hurt" she had caused.

She was the first woman executed by lethal injection.

Whose to say what a murderer/serial killer looks like. It could be you or your nextdoor neighbor.

Hillary comes to mind. Same dull but vicious eyes.

Charlie Young only a liberal can't see the real truth.

Most killers are not easy to detect by looks alone.

What does a serial killer look like? Me and you. That's why they're so successful

Barbara Glasper

She does look a little nutty.

Kathleen Wright

Yes! She looks like a crazy killer...

Looks does not always detect a murderer!

I did some further research on this. She only confessed to 3 additional murders plus the one she was convicted of. http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/barfield029.htm

Anyone could become a murderer, it may depend on what has happened in their life time. Of course there are people that are demented and you can see it in their eyes, look at the people you know... One or more will murder someone.
