Blanco is an odd sort of folk “hero” for some. She was every bit as ruthless as men — sometimes far more. She boasted of killing a 2-year-old instead of his dad (her intended target) because “it would upset the father.” She was responsible for the death of three husbands, a fact that earned her the “Black Widow” nickname.
