Lavinia Fisher (c. 1793 – February 18, 1820) was an American criminal who, according to urban legends, was the first female serial killer in the United States of America.[1] She was married to John Fisher, and both were convicted of highway robbery—a capital offense at the time—not murder.
Historians have begun to question the veracity of the traditional legend and some assert that Lavinia Fisher never killed anyone. She was, however, an active member of a large gang of highwaymen who operated out of two houses in the backcountry near Charleston, the Five Mile House and the Six Mile House, South Carolina. It is not clear whether the Six Mile House was a hotel, but it served as a hideout for a number of outlaws.
