It was around 8 o'clock on the sweltering evening of July 7, 1908, when William and Elizabeth

Hoffie were making their way up Taberton Road

and their horse-drawn carriage. The heavily wooded mountain road was quiet, deserted even,

which made what they saw next all the more strange. There, near Teal's Pond, was a fancy

carriage with two men inside. The men were acting oddly. One of them appeared to be

searching the bushes near the water's edge. When the driver spotted the hop he's approaching,

he quickly turned the carriage around and headed back down the mountain. The couple thought

it peculiar, but continued on their way. They had no idea that somewhere in those dark woods,

a young woman lay dying. By the time they told their story to police a week later, it would be too

late. Four days after that strange encounter, two boys on a camping trip made a grim discovery.

Floating face down in Teal's pond was the body of 20-year-old

Hazel Drew. The investigation that followed would captivate the nation and reveal a web of

secrets, lies, and political corruption in upstate New York. More than a century later,

the murder of Hazel Drew would inspire one of television's

most iconic series. But unlike the fictional story of Twin Peaks, this mystery would take 113 years

to solve. You are listening to The Evidence Locker. Thanks for listening to our podcast.
