Master Detective June 2021

Description

Women killers feature strongly in this month’s edition, beginning on this page with the deadly deeds of West Virginia hospital nursing assistant Reta Mays – every patient’s nightmare – and ending with the intriguing Florida case of Jody Bowman, “He Sexually Abused My Little Girl – So I Shot Him.” And this issue’s “MD Forum – Sad Death Of Florence, A Bootlegger’s Decoy”, takes us to Prohibition-era Canada and the memorable case of Florence Lassandro. Was justice served, following the shooting death of police constable Stephen Lawson? We’d love to hear what you think. Finally, and closer to home, is the horrific murder of a husband in Chard, Somerset. See “Women On The Gallows – Catherine Had To Be Carried To The Scaffold” for the full story.
