Catch Me If You Can : The True Story of Serial KIller Anne Gates

By Geraldine Tate

Thirty-eight year old Anne Gates frantically phoned police when she "discovered" the badly beaten body of her sixty-five year old husband. The attack was staged to look like the work of a prowler but police soon found out that Anne had been recently named the beneficiary of her husband's now sizable life insurance policy...and that she had been the recipient of a similiar payout years earlier with the murder of her first husband.

Anne's charm weaved magic in her working life as well. She was employed as a registered nurse and soon talked her way into becoming the manager of her unit.
