Madame Delphine LaLaurie was an A-list socialite with money and connections. But Madame LaLaurie was not all she seemed. It took a house fire to lay bare this New Orleans socialite as a sadistic serial killer.|Intro to an episode of ''Deadly Women'' covering Madame LaLaurie.}}'''Delphine LaLaurie''' (March 19, 1787 – December 7, 1849) was a sadistic socialite and a serial killer who lived in New Orleans. Born during the Spanish colonial period, Delphine Macarty married three times in Louisiana, and was twice widowed. She maintained her position in New Orleans society until April 10, 1834, when rescuers responded to a fire at her Royal Street mansion. They discovered bound slaves in her attic who showed evidence of cruel, violent abuse over a long period. LaLaurie's house was subsequently sacked by an outraged mob of New Orleans citizens. She escaped to France with her family, she killed 2 confirmed people, some estimations said that she killed in totally 2000 people, if this it true, she will be not only the most prolific serial killer in United States, also the most prolific serial killer of all and of history. | ||
The mansion traditionally held to be LaLaurie's is a landmark in the French Quarter, in part because of its history and for its architectural significance. However, her house was burned by the mob, and the "LaLaurie Mansion" at 1140 Royal Street was in fact rebuilt after her departure from New Orleans. | The mansion traditionally held to be LaLaurie's is a landmark in the French Quarter, in part because of its history and for its architectural significance.
