In 1940, Wentzville housewife Emma Hepperman was arrested for killing her husband, Tony Hepperman. Her husband of just over a month ingested arsenic. The investigation that resulted showed that Emma had killed at least five of her seven husbands, plus some more family members, mostly from eating her “famous” potato soup. Join Victoria Cosner, site administrator, to learn more about this fascinating and frightening piece of St. Charles history.
