Robyn Lindholm, a former Melbourne adult dancer often dubbed the "Black Widow," is a convicted double murderer whose crimes involved orchestrating the deaths of her own partners by manipulating other men into doing her bidding. In 2013, she arranged for her then-boyfriend Torsten Trabert and another associate to kill her former partner Wayne Amey following a bitter property dispute; Amey was bashed with a baseball bat and his body was later found hidden between boulders at Mount Korong. While serving a 25-year sentence for Amey's murder, Lindholm was further convicted in 2019 for the 2005 murder of her fiancé George Templeton, a crime she had ironically recruited Wayne Amey to help her commit years before.

She had no loyalty at all.

In November 2000, Kristin Rossum, a toxicologist at the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office, murdered her 26-year-old husband, Gregory de Villers, by administering a lethal dose of drugsstolen from her workplace. After finding him dead in their La Jolla apartment, she staged the scene to resemble her favorite movie, American Beauty, by sprinkling red rose petals over his body. Prosecutors argued that Rossum killed de Villers to prevent him from exposing her relapse into drug addiction and her illicit affair with her boss, Michael Robertson.
