Silvia Pettem’s “In Search of the Blonde Tigress,"  dips into the world of sensationalized Chicago newspaper headlines in the 1930s that claimed Eleanor was not only “the blonde tigress,” but also “the most dangerous woman alive.”  But a closer look at her life shows that she was an otherwise ordinary woman who got caught up in a Chicago crime spree, then was convicted as an accomplice to murder, and sent to prison for 199 years. She escaped seven years later and managed to live out her life as America’s longest-running female fugitive. Pettem’s research led to police and prison records, court transcripts, and her theory of where the grave of the “blonde tigress” is today.  Listeners might be familiar with some of her other 20 plus books including the recently revised "Someone’s Daughter—In Search Of Justice For Jane Doe," which is also now part of a documentary series available on Hulu.      ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booktalk-diana-korte/message

True Crime writer Silvia Pettem’s “In Search of the Blonde Tigress. The Untold Story of Eleanor Jarman”

“Cold Case Chronicles” tells the stories of victims – some missing, some murdered and some with changed identities. All are true, and each are mysterious in their own ways. The cases in this nonfiction narrative date from 1910 through the 1950s and include an evolution in forensics, as well as historical context in order to view the men, women and children through the lens of time.” One of these new forensic tools is genetic genealogy, the use of DNA testing (often using commercial home kits) to determine relationships between individuals, find genetic matches and discover one’s ancestry. In addition to writing her true crime books, Silvia is a longtime newspaper columnist for the Boulder Daily Camera and author of more than 20 books. Though she is not a member of law enforcement, she works with them, has written a book for them and is credited with doing the lion’s share of the research on a famous Boulder Jane Doe case (“Someone’s Daughter: In Search of Justice for Jane Doe”).
