Sometimes husbands expired under mysterious circumstances.
The murder clearance rate in the US is around 55%. Almost half of all murders go unsolved.
It obviously varies by jurisdiction, with some being much better and some much worse. In Flint, Michigan, less than 18% of murders are solved.
I bet many more didn't even get reported as murders in the first place. There are probably a shit load of cases from back in the day with 1950s wives poisoning their husbands or some shit that just got chalked up to heart attacks.
Stabbed in the heart.
"Let's call that heart attack."
My wife's grandmother casually makes jokes about the types of ways she would poison somebody and how she would get away with it.
It's uncomfortable but she's old and dgaf.
I once saw a presentation where someone correlated the opening of banking and credit services to women and their steep rise in the 70s with the corresponding drop in deaths by poisoning.
I’ve half-heartedly tried to find these numbers, but failure hasn’t stopped me from propagating this story
There's a shit ton of knowledge about what plants are good to eat and what aren't that the older generations are hoarding from us
That actually sounds pretty good already. I would have thought it would be lower.
