About the book

Trunks, and checked them as baggage on a train to Los Angeles. That night - Friday, October 16, 1931 - marked the beginning of her nightmare and the birth of the crime legend known as "The Trunk Murderess." Judd was immediately arrested - her motive determined to be jealousy. Though she was married to a doctor, it was widely known that she was dating a handsome married man, prominent in Phoenix society, and that this same man had also been more than a little "friendly."
