When 55-year-old Robert Green was found murdered by the railroad tracks in Little Rock, Arkansas one August night in 1924, the only clue was the presence of a woman's footprints and a tiny rhinestone buckle discovered at the scene. The murderess was dubbed "the most beautiful woman ever to enter the Arkansas penitentiary."

But this was only the beginning of her story!

Host, Mindy Hudson, retired head of the genealogy department at Jefferson County Library, Missouri. Using resources and methods typical in genealogy research, I piece together the stories of the lives of people involved in historical true crime across America.
