About this listen

 On a cold March night in 1887, a woman is tragically murdered in a small, prosperous New Jersey town. Over 135 years later her identity, and that of her killer, remain unknown. Join us as we delve deep into the mystery and try to give a woman back her name. Her death should not define her.Absent Unknown Friend True Crime

    Fashion and Crime: An Interview with Tracy Harrison Butler & Dr. Alison Matthews David
    Jul 30 2025

    In this special episode, I sit down with fashion historians Tracy Harrison Butler and Dr. Alison Matthews David to discuss the intersection of fashion and crime, and uncover what fashion can tell us about the Unknown Woman.


    This is our first ever interview on the podcast, and my microphone left a little to be desired, but thankfully our guests came in loud and clear.
