Kelley Amstutz, The Genealogy Investigator

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. 
This strange case was brought to light and dimmed out just as quick, as we look at the circumstances and try to draw some of our own conclusions as to what happened to Mrs. Margaret Ellis.

The second story takes place in 1894 when the home of Mr. and Mrs. Seiner is entered and both are brutally murdered. Their son is missing and their barn is set on fire.  The details around this story are hazy and it is said that the murders were done in a cruel manner.  No clue was left behind.

And, finally, we are in 1897 when a suspected suicide is investigated further, after witnesses proclaim to have seen two men with the deceased, Mrs. Alonzo Bennett. We are led through twists and turns for this Who-Done-It crime to try to catch a killer.
