I'm Vanessa Richardson, and welcome to criminal couples.

They say that there's a great woman behind every great man, and while that holds true in a lot of stories,

it might be more accurate to say that those women were standing right beside their great and powerful men.

That's certainly the case with Catherine Kelly, who chose a

husband who could help her get everything she ever wanted. Sure, they were in love, but it was the

kind of romance where one person was always calling the shots. You've probably heard of George

Machine Gun Kelly, but I'll bet you didn't know that his loving wife

was the one who helped build the mythos around him.

In this episode from female criminals,

we're diving deep into Catherine's life,

her romantic false starts,

and the love that landed her in prison.
