In 1922, beneath a crabapple tree in New Jersey, a minister and a choir singer were found dead, shot, arranged side by side, and surrounded by torn love letters. The Hall-Mills murders became one of the most scandalous crimes of the Jazz Age, mixing forbidden love, wealth, and hypocrisy in a way that would echo through American culture. The case’s blend of glamour and tragedy would later help inspire the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
