True Crime in the Hoosier Heartland with Author Janis Thornton

This event is sponsored by Indiana Humanities and the Indiana Authors Awards. Whose body was found stuffed into a dresser drawer at the Claypool Hotel and how did it get there? How old was the youngest Hoosier ever indicted and tried for murder? Whatever became of Elwood’s notorious “Gun Girl”? Join Hoosier author Janis Thornton for answers to these disturbing questions- and more- as she introduces you to some of the most unsettling but nonetheless fascinating, long-forgotten, chilling incidents that gripped the Hoosier Heartland from the 1880s through 1960. Must register. Adults. Free.
