True Crime Stories: Blackmailer’s Secret

by Lynne Rostochil

Oh how I love vintage periodicals and I recently stumbled upon a pile of old detective magazines at a flea market not too long ago.  I had never looked through one before but quickly became engrossed reading well-written stories about long-ago and mostly forgotten crimes.  I picked up every one that detailed crimes in Oklahoma and thought you might enjoy reading this story from March 1951 issue of True Detective that took place in Bixby.  Click an image to enlarge it so you won’t go blind trying to read the story.  Enjoy!
