ONE NIGHT IN PHOENIX

THE TRUE STORY OF "TRUNK MURDERESS" WINNIE RUTH JUDD

In 1931, an attractive 26-year-old medical secretary from Phoenix, Arizona, named Winnie Ruth Judd, arrived at the Los Angeles train station with some very strange baggage - trunks and suitcases that contained the dismembered body parts of her two best friends. And believe it or not, things got even stranger after that.

Join Troy Taylor for the true story of the infamous "Trunk Murderess" Ruthie Judd, who was either a misunderstood accidental killer or a depraved, cold-blooded murderer, depending on which side of the story you choose to believe. No matter what Ruthie did - or who wielded the knife - the author reveals the strange secrets of one of the most gruesome murders in American history.

But the story behind the murder is just the beginning! Things only get weirder after that with drug addicts, "party girls," Prohibition, vanishing bloodstains, cover-ups, leaking luggage, hospital hideouts, unfaithful lovers, prison confessions, insanity hearings, asylum escapes, and one mysteriously haunted house!

This is one of the strangest books from Troy Taylor's true crime and supernatural collection and it reveals the story behind a case that many recognize by name but will soon discover is much darker, much more twisted, and more insane than they could have imagined. Take a trip back in time to the 1930s - this one is a doozy!
