GOOD MARIA ($90,000 – $110,000)

Maria Swanenburg (better known as, ‘Good Maria’) was born September 9, 1839, in Leiden, Netherlands. She earned the nickname Good Maria as a result of her eagerness to help friends and family in her poverty-stricken neighbourhood. What no one knew was, over the course of nearly 20 years, ‘Good Maria’ is believed to have poisoned at least 65 people by adding arsenic into their food or drink. Among her first victims – her very own mother and father! In December 1883, ‘Good Maria’ was arrested after poisoning the Frankhuizen family. She was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in jail – where she eventually died – in 1915. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
