If history is right, a 26 year-old beauty named Winnie Ruth Judd murdered her two best girlfriends one hot Phoenix night in 1931. Then she hacked up their bodies, stuffed the pieces into a trunk, and took them by train to Los Angeles as her baggage. If history is right, she was sentenced to die but "cheated the gallows" by acting insane. She spent nearly 40 years in Arizona's insane asylum-flummoxing officials by escaping six times. If history is right, she only got her freedom at age 66-after serving more time than any other convicted murderer in the history of the nation—because Arizona was finally tired of punishing her. But if history is wrong, Winnie Ruth Judd's life was squandered in a horrible miscarriage of justice. Award-winning journalist Jana Bommersbach reinvestigates the twisted, bizarre murder case that has captivated the nation for decades. She not only uncovers evidence long hidden, but gets Winnie Ruth Judd to break her life-long silence and finally speak. In telling the story of this American crime legend, Bommersbach also tells the story of Phoenix, Arizona—a backwater town that would become a major American city—and the story of a unique moment in American history filled with social taboos. But most of all, she tells the story of a woman with the courage to survive.

Do you consider yourself a good person? Have you ever made a big mistake? Have you ever felt lucky that your mistake did not ruin your life? This story is about a good person who made a big mistake and paid for it for the rest of her life. It's 1932 and the country is amid a sexual revolution. Willow Jule finds Phoenix a perfect escape from her mundane relationship with her husband, a veteran who is nearly twice her age and struggles with drug addiction. This sets the stage for Jack, a charming, smooth-talking successful Phoenix businessman. Like many other men in his social circle, he sends his wife and children north in the summer to escape the Arizona heat, allowing him to party with young women only too happy to lavish attention in exchange for money or gifts. Willow's religious, conservative upbringing in rural Indiana in no way prepares her for the unconventional life she is about to enter. When she meets Jack, emboldened by her roommates, sparks fly, and she makes an age-old mistake - confusing sex with love. That mistake results in two murders fueled by jealousy. Willow Jule lands in jail and a sensational trial is funded by the yellow journalist William Randolph Hearst. Hearst doesn't care about Willow or her circumstances. He just wants her sensational story for his newspapers. Willow's name becomes a household word. The result is a woman losing most of her adult life, either to incarceration or to time on the lam. This book is inspired by the true story of Winnie Ruth Judd. There are times when the narrative seems preposterous. Well...those parts are real. But what about the events filling in around those parts? Those are fiction and come from the author's imagination. Or do they?

Edgar Award–winning author and “reigning crown princess of noir” (Booklist) Megan Abbott reignites in Bury Me Deep the hothouse of jealousy, illicit sex, shifting loyalties, and dark perversions of power that marked a true-life case born of Depression-era Phoenix, reimagined here as a timeless portrait of the dark side of desire. By the author of Dare Me and The End of Everything In October 1931, a station agent found two large trunks abandoned in Los Angeles’s Southern Pacific Station. What he found inside ignited one of the most scandalous tabloid sensations of the decade. Inspired by this notorious true crime, Edgar®-winning author Megan Abbott’s novel Bury Me Deep is the story of Marion Seeley, a young woman abandoned in Phoenix by her doctor husband. At the medical clinic where she finds a job, Marion becomes fast friends with Louise, a vivacious nurse, and her roommate, Ginny, a tubercular blonde. Before long, the demure Marion is swept up in the exuberant life of the girls, who supplement their scant income by entertaining the town’s most powerful men with wild parties. At one of these events, Marion meets—and falls hard for—the charming Joe Lanigan, a local rogue and politician on the rise, whose ties to all three women bring events to a dangerous collision. A story born of Jazz Age decadence and Depression-era desperation, Bury Me Deep—with its hothouse of jealousy, illicit sex and shifting loyalties—is a timeless portrait of the dark side of desire and the glimmer of redemption.

In 1931, a young woman was murdered in Phoenix, and the life she had lived was forgotten in a whirl of tabloid sensation. Hedvig "Sammy" Samuelson was seen by the public as simply one of two victims of the Winnie Ruth Judd Trunk Murders. Sammy's life as an adventurer, a schoolteacher, a shaper of young minds, went unremarked for decades. Then, seventy years after her death, her great-niece Sunny Worel set out to correct the record, to bring Sammy's life back into focus, to restore her dignity as a human being. By the time Sunny had done so, it was obvious that Sunny's spirit mirrored that of Sammy. Two women had reached out to each other across the gulf of time.

Together, these two women seemed to be living the American Dream...until one man decided to take it all away.

Then, just before Christmas in 2004, Loretta went missing. It would be more than a year before Terri learned the shocking truth: That, before killing himself, Taw murdered the 69-year-old Loretta and left her.

Sixteen-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddard agreed to house sit for relatives on the weekend of September 22, 2006. It was something the teenager had done before…but this time something went terribly wrong. When the family returned home at the end of the weekend they found Cassie lying on their living room floor brutally stabbed to death. Detectives focused on two of Cassie’s classmates who had briefly visited her on the night that she was murdered: Torey Adamcik and Brian Draper. Initially both boys denied any knowledge of the crime, but after two separate interrogations, Brian Draper told detectives a chilling story of murder straight out of a horror movie. The two boys were immediately arrested, and a shocking videotape was discovered that seemed to depict the two teens not only planning the cold-blooded murder, but celebrating it. Community outrage was strong and immediate. The public demanded justice. But was the video actually what it appeared to be: a cold-blooded documentary that detailed the plotting of Cassie’s murder; or something else entirely? Could anyone uncover the truth in time and convince a jury that sometimes things aren't always what they appear to be? The Guilty Innocent is narrated by Shannon Adamcik, mother of Torey, one of the accused boys. It takes readers behind the scenes of a trial where prosecutors cared more about public opinion than truth, defense attorneys, who had never argued a murder case, were in over their heads, and a young boy’s life hung in the balance. The United States is the only country in the world that will charge a juvenile as an adult and sentence them to life without parole. As the mother of one such child, I know exactly what happens when a juvenile is placed in adult court where they cannot defend themselves. They are immediately cut off from all human contact, locked in isolation, and railroaded through a justice system they simply cannot comprehend. Consequently, many of these juveniles are sentenced too much longer and harsher terms than their adult counterparts. I've personally lived through this, and I was compelled to write about it. I began for the simple reason that I had lived through this horrendous ordeal and I ached for someone to confide in. But reliving the most painful part of my life was extraordinarily difficult. Ultimately the only reason that I was able to persevere was my deep belief that the story was important and needed to be told. That is still true. This is a true story and no one can tell it better than the people who lived it. A crime reporter can look at the details of a case, but they cannot tell you how it feels to live through it. I can and I did. I used the pre-trial and trial transcripts, copies of the police reports, the autopsy and DNA reports, and DVD recordings of all of the evidence in the case. I've done copious research. But more importantly, I take readers step-by-step through what it feels like when your 16-year-old son is accused of first-degree murder; all the odds are stacked against him; and his defense is in the hands of attorneys you can’t fully trust to come through for you.
