Chilling Details About Serial Killer Lizzie Halliday, The Worst Woman On Earth

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Not long after the remains of the McQuillans were recovered, the mystery of the missing Paul Halliday was solved, and in gruesome fashion. As per "Psycho USA," his corpse was found on September 6, stashed beneath the floorboards of his own kitchen. Lizzie Halliday had also apparently shot him while he slept, then bludgeoned his head with an ax. From there, it was a seemingly simple affair of removing the floorboards, digging a shallow grave, rolling her husband's body off the couch and into the hole, then covering up what she had done.

With three bodies now found on the Halliday property, it was obvious to the authorities that Lizzie needed to be taken in. According to contemporary reports (via Unknown Gender History), she was arrested shortly after Paul's body was discovered.

While in custody, Lizzie appeared to be incoherent and self-destructive, even going so far as to harm herself with broken glass to, in her words, "see if I would bleed." She also attempted to hang herself, burn her own bed, and tried to strangle the sheriff's wife. Some wondered if she was exaggerating her behavior to avoid execution, though, if past reports of her behavior are indeed reliable, she may have been genuinely delusional.
