On a warm summer night in July of 1908, a young woman disappeared from the streets of Troy, New York,

and a few days later, her body turned up in a pond miles away. Her skull was crushed, and her throat

was wrapped with the string from a corset. The woman's hat and one of her gloves rested on the

water's edge. According to the police, this was a cold-blooded murder and the newspapers reported that

the woman fought for her life. This is the story of Hazel Irene Drew, a case that has left

more questions than answers and inspired decades of speculation.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am doing well. I am enjoying the very slight change of temperature we got here in central Florida.

Yes.

My husband sent me a screenshot of the weather and tomorrow morning like it starts at 70 or

something, the cool or whatever.

And I was like, this is so Florida to be like, can you believe the temperature drop in here?

But yeah, I welcome it with open arms. This is the first time I've

been able to record not in a closet in like a month, two months, because it's not actively raining

outside. So I'm loving it. Yeah. I know. And, you know, some people listening, you're probably like,

oh, they're talking about the weather again.

I want you guys to know, it is not just us. I feel like a lot of people in Florida are fascinated by the weather and get very excited when things start changing. You know, when the seasons start changing. I literally last night before I went to bed, I was just browsing Facebook scrolling and I scrolled past a post from our local community group and it was literally just a person that was like, everyone go outside right now. The weather just

changed. So like, I mean, these are, this is a very exciting topic of conversation for those of us

that are down here and are used to experiencing sweltering heat.

It's a big W for us.

Yes.

And there is like a tropical something going on, but like we haven't had anything this year.

Knock on everything.
