The Rival Lady Kingpins of Australia | Episode 54

s02e54_KateLeigh_TillyDevine.jpg

Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh were two of Australia's most notorious kingpins. And yes, they were women. They ruled the Australian criminal underground for at least half a decade during Prohibition and they did it while fostering their bitter, violent rivalry. Even when they were dogged by police, it was almost impossible to get these two behind bars. These two were seriously bad bitches (not in the role-model kind of way) - and you're gonna love their story.
