Dagmar Overbye Life story


Dagmar Johanne Amalie Overbye was a Danish serial killer. She murdered between 9 and 25 children, including one of her own, during a seven-year period from 1913 to 1920. On 3 March 1921 she was sentenced to death in one of the most noted trials in Danish history—one that changed legislation on childcare.
