It was Halloween, 1969, and St. Petersburg police was called to the scene of a gruesome murder. The body of a woman dressed only in a filmy, green nightgown was discovered neatly wrapped in plastic bags, and concealed in a black, steamer trunk near the parking lot of the Oyster Bar Restaurant at 4200 34th Street South.
This case was recently solved in 2023 via DNA. Known as Trunk Lady she was finally given her name. This is her story.
