For Valley true crime fans, the story of Winnie Ruth Judd, aka “The Trunk Murderess,” is Phoenix’s claim to infamy. The grisly details of Judd’s crime are widely known: in 1931, she killed her two best friends, Anne LeRoi and Sammy Samuelson, stuffed their bodies in a pair of trunks, and rode with them on a train to Los Angeles. Judd was convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but she was determined to be mentally unsound and sent to an asylum. Over the years, she tried repeatedly to escape the asylum, before finally being paroled in 1971. She lived her last years quietly back here in Phoenix.
