CRIME TRAVEL in TOLEDO, OHIO -- A Strange Disappearance | Murder without a Clue

A Strange Disappearance and Murder Without a Clue- Our story begins in 1887 when Mrs. Margaret Ellis disappears after a night at the theater in Toledo, Ohio.  The only items found were her shoe and an article of clothing.
