Tea Time Crimes

PART THREE. In Canada there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears. In this three-part series, we will be exploring this area and the devastating stories found alongside it. 

If you have any information for any of these cases, please call the E-PANA Tip Line at 1.877.543.4822.

On October 19, 1931, two trunks arrived on the platform of the Los Angeles Central Station, leaking blood. It was no mystery who the trunks belonged to: Winnie Ruth Judd had already been to the depot to collect her luggage.

We’re sure you’ve heard of the Winchester Rifle, but have you ever heard of the Winchester Curse? Heiress Sarah Winchester built the Winchester Mansion in the late 1800s, an endless building of over 160 rooms containing architectural oddities said to appease the spirits haunting her. Today, the ghost stories have grown to legend, making the Winchester Mystery House one of the most haunted homes in the United States. But is this a case of paranormal house guests or a rumor mill run wild?

When Lottie A. Bernard checks into the Hotel Del Coronado in November of 1892, the staff is mesmerized by the mysterious woman they call “the beautiful stranger.” She appears in the lobby alone, without any luggage, anxiously awaiting the arrival of her brother. A few days later her body is found on the steps leading to the Pacific Ocean, her death ruled a suicide. The mystery only unravels from here as the staff realizes nothing the woman said was true. Who was she? Why was she there? And has she ever truly left? Join us as we explore the real identity of the beautiful stranger, theories about her death, and a hilariously unhinged tangent from Alana.
