In the ruins, authorities found the headless body of an adult woman, initially identified as Belle Gunness, and her three children.[4] Further investigation unearthed the partial remains of at least 11 additional people on the Gunness property.[5] In November 1908, Gunness's hired hand, Ray Lamphere, was convicted of arson in connection with the fire.[5] Lamphere later confessed that Gunness had placed advertisements seeking male companionship, only to murder and rob the men who responded and subsequently visited her on the farm.[2] Lamphere stated that Gunness asked him to burn down the farmhouse with her children inside.[2] Lamphere also asserted that the body thought to be Gunness's was in fact a murder victim, chosen and planted to mislead investigators.[5] The brother of one victim had warned Gunness that he might arrive at the farm shortly to investigate his brother's disappearance.[2] According to Lamphere, this impending visit motivated Gunness to destroy her house, fake her own death, and flee.[5] LegacyBelle Gunness is the subject of several American murder ballads.[6][7] The La Porte County Historical Society Museum has a permanent “Belle Gunness“ exhibit.[8] See also
