Gory Tales from Indiana’s Gore
Gory Tales from Indiana’s Gore is designed to turn mountains of historical news clippings into readable narratives about cases of murder and mayhem which have occurred in Indiana’s Gore, a region in the southeastern corner of the state. The site also provides biographical information on key figures who appeared in multiple cases, such as lawyers and judges, as well as geographical, historical, and demographical information about the region. Specifics on how a case qualifies for inclusion on the website can be found in the Content Policy.
The “Murder Girl Memo” elements you’ll find scattered around the site serve to point out interesting facts which connect the cases to each other, to media accounts, and to the site administrator. The nickname “Murder Girl” came about through numerous colleagues in work and volunteer venues describing her to others in a way that caused meeting new people to regularly include hearing the phrase, “Is this the Murder Girl?!”
