Synopsis

Martha Beck (Salma Hayek) and Raymond Fernandez (Jared Leto) were America's notorious "Lonely Hearts Killers" who caused a furore in the late 1940s. Their lethal scam was simple; they would swindle and then viciously murder lovelorn war widows who would answer their personal ads in which Ray would describe himself as a sexy Latin Lover. Martha was a potential victim, but when they met, it was love at first sight.

With Martha posing as Ray's sister, they duped elderly spinsters and widows of their savings and then viciously murdered them in a bloodbath of sexual frenzy. When they were arrested, Martha and Ray confessed to 12 killings, although it is believed the actual number is closer to 20. On August 22, 1949, the homicidal lovers were sentenced to death. After numerous appeals they were electrocuted on March 8, 1951 in prison.
