10-Minute Mystery: The Girl In Blue (repeat episode!) Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

On Christmas Eve in 1933, a stranger walked through the streets of Willoughby, Ohio - a young woman dressed head to toe in blue, with 90 cents in her purse and hopes of getting home to Pennsylvania by Christmas. No one understood her intent as she sprinted for an approaching train, running into its side and glancing off with a fatally cracked skull. The town would bury the unidentified girl in a grave marked "The Girl in Blue," and although research would give her a name 60 years later, it will never be known if she had intended to kill herself, or simply catch a free ride home. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch
