historic crime

Louisiana, 1939. Toni Jo and her husband Cowboy had a special kind of love. Like Bonnie and Clyde or Romeo and Juliet, they would go to great lengths to love each other and…to be together. But star-crossed lovers usually end in tragedy, and this story is no different. After her husband is convicted of murder, Toni Jo hatches a plan to spring him from prison. Along the way she will murder an innocent man, and instead of saving her husband, becomes the first and only woman in Louisiana to die in the electric chair. This is a Story of Murder and Love. This is the story of Claude Cowboy Henry and his Wife Toni Jo. Louisiana’s Tiger Girl.

In 1969, Assia Wevill--hailed as a great beauty and advertising talent--bizarrely committed suicide in the same manner as her paramour's wife six years earlier. To add to the tragedy, she killed her 4-year-old daughter, Shura. This is the story of a woman tormented by the dead poet Sylvia Plath, the refusal of Sylvia's husband Ted to commit to her even after he fathered her child, and the memory of her narrow escape from Hitler and the Holocaust.
