Show Notes

On October 18th, 1931, Winnie Ruth Judd boarded a train to Los Angeles with a bandaged hand and foul-smelling luggage that leaked blood. Once she disembarked the train, she quickly departed, leaving behind her baggage. When police pried open the trunks to inspect the contents, they discovered the bodies of two murdered women, one of whom was dismembered.


Author Laurie Notaro shares the life and crimes of the infamous Winnie Ruth Judd. She examines the historical context of the crimes to provide a different, more tragic version of the story as detailed in her upcoming book, The Murderess.
