The 1931 Trunk Murders: The Story of Winnie Ruth Judd, of Phoenix, Arizona

On October 16, 1931, a murder so bizarre, so gruesome, gripped not only Arizona, but all of America. Three beautiful women. Best friends. Two were dead, and the third accused of murdering them and then “chopping up” their bodies. The bodies were then stuffed into two trunks and shipped by train from Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, California. The trunks were accompanied on the train by the accused murderer, Winnie Ruth Judd. What really happened? What was Winnie Ruth Judd guilty of?
Was she an evil killer? Or was she framed?

What Reviewers are Saying

I had heard about Winnie Ruth Judd all my life, in the same breaths as notorious criminals. This answered the questions in a non-glamorized or sensationalized manner that was edifying. Totally well-written.
