Historical
true
crime
stories
from
the
southwestern
corner
of
the
Keystone
State,
reaching
as
far
back
as
1795.In
the
southwest
corner
of
Pennsylvania,
beyond
the
picturesque
scenes
of
the
Monongahela
River
Valley,
there
are
long-forgotten
mysteries
of
scandal
and
murder.
Amid
the
hardship
of
life
on
the
frontier
of
Washington
County
in
1795,
young
Isabel
Stewart
was
found
dead,
and
her
killer
never
identified
in
the
oldest
unsolved
murder
in
the
region.
La
Mano
Nera
(the
Black
Hand)
gangs
from
Calabria,
Italy,
extorted
and
slaughtered
their
way
into
the
1920s
as
Sicilian-style
vendettas
became
a
common
occurrence.
The
disappearance
of
local
huckster
Harry
Lane
in
1893
caused
a
flurry
of
murder
conspiracies,
yet
all
that
could
be
found
was
a
bloodied
hat;
it
took
another
one
hundred
years
before
the
mystery
was
solved.
Local
author
Parker
Burroughs
details
gruesome
homicides
and
puzzling
whodunits
in
Pennsylvania
coal country.
