Early Life

Anna Marie Hahn, born Anna Marie Filser on July 7, 1906, in Füssen, Bavaria, Germany, was the youngest of twelve children. She emigrated to the United States in 1929 and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she married Philip Hahn in 1930.

Crimes

Anna Marie Hahn, also known as "Arsenic Anna" and "The Blonde Borgia," was a German-born American serial killer who poisoned five elderly men in Cincinnati between 1933 and 1937. Her motive was to gain their estates through fraudulently produced wills or by raiding their bank accounts.
