Hazel Was a Good Girl: Solving the Murder That Inspired Twin Peaks
$17.66 online at Bookshop.org
On a hot July day in 1908, Hazel Irene Drew was found floating in a mill pond in Upstate New York. Her murder made headlines worldwide, then the district attorney closed the case in less than thirty days. The legend of her ghost in those woods later helped inspire Twin Peaks. Jerry C. Drake uses Gilded Age clippings and photographs from Troy and Albany papers to separate fact from lore, tracking through back alleys and mountain forests. Firsthand accounts from locals, tabloid journalists, robber barons, psychic investigators, and a mysterious hypnotist give way to a debunked sensation and, finally, the real woman.
Genres: True Crime
