The Truth About Winnie Ruth Judd
The Truth About Winnie Ruth Judd
In the 1930's, the new medium of radio had as big an impact on society as the internet does today. This is the true story of a still unsolved double homicide that became the first example of what is now a very popular form of entertainment, true crime podcasts. In 1931, Winnie Ruth Judd was accused and then convicted of murdering two women and dismembering one of them, loading them into steamer trunks and shipping them to Los Angeles by train. Her trial became a wildly popular broadcast that shaped the future of electronic communication. But did she really do it? Did she act alone? What really happened? The story's relevance to today is the high value and elusive nature of the truth and our relationship to it.
