In this episode, Chuck Hamm interviews David Reel—Ventura County and Camarillo City Historian, author, and fellow podcaster—about the fascinating story of Lucy Hicks. Once a celebrated hostess and chef in Oxnard during the early 20th century, Lucy became the center of national controversy when her identity and past collided with federal law. They touch on Lucy's journey, from her roots in Kentucky to her life in Ventura County, highlighting her role in Oxnard’s social scene, her run-ins with the law, and the legacy she left behind. Tune in for a compelling conversation about crime and identity, in one of the most intriguing chapters of local California history.
