Jolly Jane Toppan: Cape Cod's Angel of Death



At the turn of the 20th century, a series of unspeakable crimes were occurring on Cape Cod and in Southeastern Massachusetts. Dozens of innocent people were murdered by someone they trusted and some even considered family. However, it wasn't until the body count was staggering that the perpetrator was finally apprehended. Nurse Jane Toppan etched her name in infamy by gaining the trust of countless people only to repay them by taking their lives. This is the story of Cape Cod's 'Angel of Death.'
