Lavinia Fisher: podcast appearances and interviews

Lavinia Fisher was an American who lived around 1793 to 1820 and was associated with criminal activities in South Carolina. She was married to John Fisher, and together they were convicted of highway robbery, a capital offense at the time. Historically, she has been linked to urban legends suggesting she was the first female serial killer in the United States, although some historians question the accuracy of this legend and assert that she may not have killed anyone. Lavinia Fisher was an active member of a gang of highwaymen operating from two locations near Charleston, South Carolina, known as the Five Mile House and the Six Mile House. The Six Mile House functioned as a hideout for outlaws, though its precise purpose and whether it served as a hotel remains uncertain. Her criminal association and involvement in highway robbery are the primary aspects documented in historical records of her life.
