The Hall-Mills Murders: Forbidden Love, The Pig Woman, and America's First Media Circus

On a Thursday evening in September 1922, a phone call placed to Reverend Edward Hall—a respected Episcopal minister—would lead to one of the most sensational "Jazz Age" scandals in American history.

Two days later, the Reverend's body was found alongside his lover, choir singer Eleanor Mills, posed beneath a crab apple tree. Their passionate love letters were torn and scattered around them like confetti, a clear message from a killer driven by jealousy.
