Infamous Black Widow Released From Prison

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

A woman that is on a mission is not a woman to be reconciled with; this especially rings true when that woman has a knack for killing ex-lovers. Melissa Ann Shepard, 80, has been released from prison. This woman has attempted to poison, rob and sabotage men. Shepard has schemed and used an online identity to follow through with her ill-intended plans.

In 1992 she ran over her second husband with a car. Shepard also slipped tranquilizers into her husband’s coffee in 2012. This woman has been proven incorrigible.  Multiple suspicious deaths of men associated with Melissa have complicated the opinions of officials in regards to her release and probation.

Shepard has been issued release with multiple guidelines in place to limit future foul play. Shepard must report her relationships to police and she will have a specific curfew.  Shepard is on the way to restrained freedom.
