Today's story is one that's almost too twisted to believe. But believe it. Georgia Tann was a prolific human trafficker who ran the Tennessee Children's Home Society, an unlicensed home that served as a front for black market baby adoptions. Tann is estimated to have sold a whopping 5,000 babies and often threatened poor single mothers into handing over their children for her to profit from. Wouldn't have guessed all this from looking at her, would you? Looks can be deceiving.
