On a sweltering summer day in July 1920, the tranquil city of El Paso was thrown into chaos. A gruesome murder had taken place, and the police were hot on the trail of the killer. The victim, a woman whose identity was not immediately disclosed, had been found in a trunk, her body mutilated beyond recognition. The crime scene was eerily reminiscent of the infamous ‘Trunk Murder Mystery’ that had captivated the nation just a few months prior.
