A potter who lost four husbands under mysterious circumstances. Each disappeared, often after Mrs. Abhorsen had taken out large life insurance polices on them. It was later determined that she was drugging the men, shoving them into her kiln, and firing them at cone ten. The remains would then be pulverized with broken pots and mixed into clay. She became known as the Ceramic Murderess.

Pots from the Abhorsen Studio skyrocketed in value during the trial and remain collector’s items to this day.
