Summary

The Murder of Anna Marie Keenan Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House Edition Episode 488 takes us to a top-floor flat on West Fifty-Seventh Street, the Ides of March, nineteen twenty-three. A chorus girl named Dot King lies dead across a blue silk bed. A scraped chloroform bottle. A Philadelphia millionaire under a fake name. A mother in Harlem naming the killer nobody arrests. The Broadway Butterfly case breaks open, and nobody closes it. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support .
