Description
In the summer of 1940, a woman’s blanketed and hogtied body surfaced in Lake Crescent, Washington, her body having turned to soap in a strange chemical transformation. After identifying her remains, it was revealed that she was a woman who went missing three years earlier, just days before Christmas. So who killed her, and why? This is the murder of Hallie Illingworth, otherwise known as The Lady of Crescent Lake.
