10-Minute Mystery: Bertha Mae Brooks

Episode Notes: In 1959, Bertha was one day into her 13th birthday and just had her hair done at a beauty parlor when she was found dead alongside a Mansfield Road. Her extensive broken bones and wounds led the prosecutor to think she'd been hit by a driver who didn't stop. The sheriff thought she was targeted, assaulted, and dragged alongside the road to make it look like a hit and run. The coroner couldn't pick a side, saying both ideas were possible. www.ohiomysteries.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries audionautix great unknown Alderin New Horizon Learn more about your ad choices.
