Lizzie Halliday Best Known as Worst Woman Dead in New York
Lizzie Halliday, once called the worst woman on earth, died in a state hospital after a career of murder and insanity. Convicted then declared insane, she was linked to the deaths of her husband, a stepson, two women friends, and a nurse, with suspicions of more killings. She reportedly rode with a gypsy band before marrying Paul Halliday, a Burlingham farmer in Sullivan County. Authorities first learned of her when her first husband vanished in 1802, with mountains near Burlingham later yielding two bodies.
