The Midnight Murder of Pearl Osten

Twisted Roots: A Genealogist’s True Crime Podcast

S2E3: On a brisk October's night in 1927, the smell of rain in the air, a fashionable young lady had recently arrived in the city of Minneapolis to attend college for piano. After finishing a long night attending to a party at the Jolly Peasant Tea Rooms, a job she had aquired only days before, she headed home. She stepped off the streetcar, just after midnight, with a mysterious young man and was never seen alive again. This century old mystery has never been solved. Listen to the facts of the case and see if you can determine who killed Pearl Osten.
