Get ready for an intense dive into one of the most chilling true crime cases in recent history. “Black Widow” is a gripping documentary series that uncovers the decade-long police investigation into Dena Thompson, a woman whose name became synonymous with fraud, manipulation, and murder. Over the course of 20 years, Thompson led a life filled with deception, using Lonely Hearts ads to lure multiple husbands and lovers into her web of lies, bigamy, and even death.

This compelling series brings you exclusive first-hand accounts from those impacted by her actions, including a shocking interview with her first husband, who was left homeless and paranoid, believing he was being pursued by the mafia.

Matt Lowe worked on Episode 3. Chris Scurfield edited across all three episodes.

Black Widow is available on Sky Documentaries. The series will also be available to watch as a box set on Sky and NOW.
