Description

Nicknamed "the most beautiful woman in Alaska," 31-year-old Diane Wells was bruised and bloodied when she screamed for help in the early hours of October 17, 1953. Her husband Cecil, a wealthy Fairbanks businessman, had been shot dead, and she claimed they were the victims of a brutal home invasion. Diane was very different from Cecil's four previous wives. Blonde, glamorous and 20 years younger than he, she was described by a local as "knockout beautiful." Police were immediately suspicious of her account, and the investigation soon turned toward her alleged lover, black musician Johnny Warren, who had left town the night of the murder. Nearly 70 years later, Journalist James T. Bartlett uncovers new evidence including an unpublished memoir, unseen photographs, and the FBI files, to reveal the story behind what is known as "the most notorious and baffling murder in the history of Fairbanks." He examines the flawed police investigation, looks at possible suspects and theories, and tracks down and interviews the people close to Cecil, Diane, Johnny, and the mysterious "Third Suspect," dance instructor William Colombany. In Jim Crow America, the interracial sex combined with a scandalous crime in far-off Alaska led to worldwide newspaper coverage. Life, Newsweek, Jet, and various pulp magazines lavished pages on the sensation, but their editors could barely have dreamed it would end with a Hollywood tragedy straight out of a film noir.
