Only Belle: A serial killer from Selbu

Brynhild Paulsdatter Størset, better known as Belle Gunness, was born in Selbu in Norway in 1859. As it turned out, she became one of the greatest female serial killers of all times. It is said that she killed somewhere between 40 and 70 people. However, she was never tried or sentenced for any of these crimes. As the net closed around her, she arranged her own death and disappeared without a trace. The director Anne Berit Vestby is from the same small village in Norway. She follows in the tracks of Belle Gunness from Selbu to Chicago. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
