Lynn Turner (July 13, 1968 - August 30, 2010) was a notorious villainess and Black Widow murderess.
Born Julia Lynn Womack in Marietta, Georgia, Lynn (at age 25) married police officer Maurice Glenn Turner in 1993. In early 1995, Glenn complained that he began feeling flu-like symptoms, only to recover by March of that year. It was on March 3, however, that 31-year-old Glenn died of what was assumed to be an irregular heartbeat, and four days later, the newly widowed Lynn moved in with her boyfriend, firefighter Randy Thompson, and gave birth to two children with Randy. On January 22, 2001, Randy died suddenly at the age of 32, also of an irregular heartbeat.
Randy's death led to an investigation regarding Glenn, with the autopsy revealing that both men died of antifreeze poisoning, with Lynn uncovered as the villainous perpetrator. On November 1, 2002, Lynn was arrested for both murders and tried on two separate trials, with both of them ending in a conviction. Lynn's motive was money; she benefited financially via both of their insurance policies, and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on March 27, 2007.
On August 30, 2010, 42-year-old Lynn was found dead in her prison cell, with the cause of death being labeled as a suicide via prescription overdose.
