A trunk dripping blood, discovered at a railway station in Stockton
in 1906, launched one of the most famous murder investigations in
California history-still debated by crime historians. In 1913, the
dismembered body of a young pregnant woman, found in New York
City's East River, was traced back to her killer and husband, who
remains the only priest executed for homicide in the U.S. In 1916,
a successful dentist, recently married into a prestigious family,
poisoned his in-laws-first with deadly bacteria, then with
arsenic-claiming the real murderer was an Egyptian incubus who took
control of his body. Drawing on court transcripts, newspaper
coverage and other contemporary sources, this collection of
historical American true crime stories chronicles five murder cases
that became media sensations of their day, making headlines across
the country in the decades before radio or television.
