One of Ruth Judd’s victims, Hedvig Samuelson (24), who was shot in the head.

After finding the victims body was too large, she cut the body into four parts and stuffed the pieces into trunks.

This act earned her the nickname “The Trunk Murderess”.

She must've hated that gal. i think that gal had been movin' onto her man, IIRC. I seem to recall the porters noticed blood and odors coming from one of the trunks on the train... Can you imagine?

Ugh, dead body stench from a trunk on a train, that would make me travel sick!

Trains are slow travel. No refridgeration. The whole train would have travel sickness.
