I never heard of her before this class and thought I would do it on her since she is number one on the list. Mary Flora Bell, who was convicted in December of 1968 of manslaughter.

After the death of Martin Brown she goes to Martin Browns parents’ house to ask to see Martin Brown and the mother said I’m sorry but Martin has died. Then Mary Bell said she knew and she wanted to see Martin in his coffin and the mother freaked out. She was trying to get attention for people to know that she did kill but no one believed it. She is planning to kill again after everything. At a very young age, Mary Bell saw her mom doing sexual activities and even very extreme activities. Betty Bell which is Mary’s mother tried to poisoning her daughter and even tried to abandon her over all her mother caused Mary as a killer.
