The "Real" Laura Palmer Murder Mystery

In this David Lynch tribute, Nancy revisits the murder case that inspired Twin Peaks's Laura Palmer saga: the "beautiful and beguiling" Hazel Drew, a 20-year old small town girl whose mysterious life and violent death was a shocking, enduring mystery for over a century.

That is, until two diehard Twin Peaks fans took a crack at the case — and wrote a book about their investigation. Who killed Hazel Drew, the real-life Laura Palmer? They have a clue. Enjoy this very sleepy true crime story inspired by the late great David Lynch.
