A news media frenzy hurled the quiet resort community of Pinehurst
into the national spotlight in 1935 when hotel magnate Ellsworth
Statler's adopted daughter was discovered dead early one February
morning weeks after her wedding day. A politically charged
coroner's inquest failed to determine a definitive cause of death,
and the following civil action continued to expose sordid details
of the couple's lives. More than half a century later, the story
was all but forgotten when local resident Diane McLellan spied an
old photograph at a yard sale and became obsessed with solving the
mystery. Her enthusiastic sleuthing captured the attention of
Southern Pines resident and journalist Steve Bouser, who takes
readers back to those blustery winter days so long ago in the
search to reveal what really happened to Elva Statler Davidson.
