Much of her story has been embellished or misreported, though that’s not to say the truth isn’t horrific and her legacy lasting.

And as promised, I'm here to bring you the 10th and final episode of our precedent series. And this is one of two episodes that I dropped today. So if you haven't already, you got to go back and listen to the story of Henry Alfred and a little something we know now as the Alfred plea. But for this last episode, I want to tell you a story that may sound familiar to some of you. Now, this case is actually the one that sparked the idea for this entire series. And it has to do with the three-digit, now infamous number you can call when you're in need of help, 911. As a self-proclaimed crime junkie, the concept of an emergency helpline seemed synonymous with all true crime stories. So much so that I can vividly remember the first time I read an article that talked about a time before 911. And it stopped me in my tracks.
