117. Vintage Case: Babes of Inglewood

Written By Alienist Entertainment

This case occurred in 1937 Los Angeles and was one of the most haunting & horrific crimes to occur since the murder of little Marion Parker a decade earlier. The Babes of Inglewood were three little girls who went missing in broad daylight while playing at the community park. However, this case is very likely also about one of the the earliest wrongful convictions of a high-profile crime.
