204. Internet Black Widow, Melissa Ann Shepard | Canada
At the first glance, Melissa Ann Shepard looked like a sweet and charming older lady seeking companionship after the tragic death of her husband. With her rosy cheeks, spectacles and overall harmless appearance, Melissa didn't exactly seem like the type of woman that you should be afraid of. But appearances can be deceiving as Melissa wouldn’t stop at anything to get what she wanted: money.
