Even the most sensational and scandalous crimes can disappear into
history, the spine-chilling tales forgotten by subsequent
generations. Murders that Made Headlines reveals some of these
extraordinary but forgotten true events that captured the public's
attention in the course of the last 200 years. Jane Simon Ammeson
recounts the astonishing and sometimes bizarre stories of arsenic
murders, Ponzi schemes, prison escapes, perjury, and other shocking
crimes that took place in the Hoosier state. When we think of
bygone eras, we often imagine gentile women, respectable men,
simpler times, mannerly interactions, and intimate acquaintances,
but Murders that Made Headlines reveals the notorious true crimes
lurking in our history.
