Summary

Houston, TX and her destination of Corpus Christi.
Her son, Chien Si fought tooth and nail to keep his mom’s case in spotlight— to make people care… but without clues pointing to an answer, the attention on Tot’s case tapered off, and the trail eventually went cold. To this day, her case remains unsolved. This is “The Incredible Life of Tot Harriman, Part Two” from Murder, She Told, hosted by Kristen Seavey. Originally published in October 2022.
