A black widow grandmother who left a trail of five dead husbands in five states over the last 56 years has died after an illness, leaving a longer trail of questions for survivors of her spouses that might never be answered.
Betty Neumar's son-in-law Terry Sanders said she died late Sunday or early Monday in a hospital in Louisiana.
Stanly County, North Carolina Sheriff Rick Burris said authorities are looking into her death.
Mr Sanders, who has been married 38 years to Neumar's daughter, said: 'She was tough country girl and fought through a lot of pain.
