S1.E88 - The Train Came, Trunks Stayed: The Horrifying Case of Winnie Ruth Judd

We had to re-upload this video with LESS ECHO - because our sound boards are possessed, as we too are haunted houses!

This week, the gang unpacks the scandalous and sensational story of Winnie Ruth Judd, dubbed “The Trunk Murderess” by the press.

In 1931, two women were found dismembered and stuffed into steamer trunks, and Winnie was on the run. But was she a cold-blooded killer, or the perfect scapegoat in a case full of lies, jealousy, and possible cover-ups?

Rachel, Cat, and Em dive into the mystery, the media circus, and the mental health questions that still swirl around this case nearly a century later.

Old Hollywood vibes. True crime madness. A train ticket and a couple of trunks soaked in secrets. Let’s unfortunately dive into it.
