520    The true story of the first female serial killer to die in
       the electric chair. Nicknamed “the Blonde Borgia,” Anna 
       Marie Hahn was a cold-blooded serial killer who preyed on 
       the elderly in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district in the
       1930s. When the State of Ohio strapped its first woman 
       into the electric chair, Hahn gained a place in the annals
       of crime as the nation’s first female serial killer to be 
       executed in the chair. Told here for the first time in 
       riveting detail is Anna Marie’s gripping story, an almost 
       unbelievable tale of multiple murders, deceit, and greed. 
       Born in Bavaria in 1906, Anna Marie brought shame to her 
       pious family when, as a teenager, she gave birth to an 
       illegitimate son, Oscar. She was shipped off to America in
       1929 where she initially lived with elderly relatives in 
       Cincinnati. A year later she married Philip Hahn, a 
       Western Union telegrapher, with whom she bought a new 
       house and opened a delicatessen/bakery.Pressed 
       economically by the Great Depression, the ever-resourceful
       Anna Marie found other ways to get the money to support 
       her passionate past-time—betting on horses. She tried 
       burning down the house, then the deli, for the insurance; 
       and she tried killing her husband, also for the insurance.
       Then she took to befriending the neighborhood elderly, 
       latching on to their life savings before feeding them 
       arsenic with deadly results. For weeks her Cincinnati 
       trial for “the greatest mass murder in the history of the
       country” was a front-page sensation across the nation. A 
       thousand or more curiosity seekers came daily to the 
       courthouse to try to get just a glimpse of her. Nearly 100
       witnesses gave damning testimony against her, and the 
       jury’s guilty verdict put her on the path to the electric 
       chair. Finally, after a year, all appeals were exhausted, 
       and Anna Marie, age 32, was executed on December 7, 1938, 
       at the state penitentiary in Columbus. True crime buffs, 
       historians, legal professionals, and others seeking an 
       extraordinary story will find The Goodbye Door a 
       compelling addition to true crime literature.
