This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Is it a sin?

Is it a crime?

Guilty of loving you. Hello, hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to episode

28 of Criminal Broads, the true crime and history podcast about wild women on the wrong

side of the law. Today we're delving into my favorite sort of case,

which is a case where the players are famous and yet the legend tends to be a little bit

inaccurate. I love this kind of thing. To help me tell you this wild story, I am bringing on an expert. So you are going to hear from

Hi, my name is Emily Lerbeau-Casey, Ph.D. And I am the author of a book called Ugly Prey,

an innocent woman and the death sentence that scandalized Jazz Age Chicago. I'm also the author

of a second book called This Is Really

War, The Incredible True Story of a Navy Nurse POW in the Occupied Philippines.

I met Emily at a conference in Chicago called Murder and Mayhem. We were on the same panel talking about true crime.

We hit it off right away.

She is awesome.

We have a similar sense of humor, as you will probably tell from this episode.

And so after you listen to this episode, please check out her books.

I'm going to link to them in the show notes on my website.

You know where this information is.
