It’s 1939 and we’re covering a spirited woman with many nicknames: The Untamed Wildcat, Gun Girl, and 90 Pounds of Nitro. But her real name was Isabelle Messmer and she was from a small town in Indiana. Craving excitement, Isabelle was constantly in trouble, ending up on the run, hated by the police, and on trial for murder. Strap in for an adventure with a woman everyone just wanted to be a “good girl.”

It’s Freaky Friday (Twisted Tuesday??) and Alana is taking over the mic. Buckle in for a wild ride through 1850s New Orleans where we meet all kinds of characters, most especially Mary Jane “Bricktop” Jackson. Mary was a sex worker who didn’t put up with any nonsense or disrespect. Those that dared found themselves on the wrong side of her blade. Despite her murderous actions, we’re willing to bet you might kinda like the gal, or at least, enjoy Alana’s love for her.

PART THREE. In Canada there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears. In this three-part series, we will be exploring this area and the devastating stories found alongside it.

*Please refer to Part One  for a full list of sources for all the Highway of Tears episodes

In Canada, there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears. In this three-part series, we will be exploring this area and the devastating stories found alongside it. 

If you have any information for any of these cases, please call the E-PANA Tip Line at 1.877.543.4822.
