The Arizona Historical Foundation presents and exhibition of images from the murder trial of Winnie Ruth Judd, one of the most sensationalized cases in the history of Phoenix. Judd, who died in 1998 at the age of 93, was the notorious “Trunk Murderess” of 1931 caught in Los Angeles transporting the remains of her two female roommates in a set of trunks from Arizona by train. Speculations and conspiracy theories have developed over the years involving her relationships with local celebrities, politicians, and business men. Regardless, by the time of her release she had served one of the longest sentences in the history of any criminal in the United States.
Fred McIlvain and Photo Preservationist Rebekah Tabah talk about the notorious double murder case in Arizona and also explain the how these photos were recently discovered.
