On July 6, 1908, pretty and popular Hazel Drew abruptly quit her job as a domestic servant; a job she loved and with a family that greatly respected and admired her. Five days later her body was discovered in a pond fifteen miles away. An autopsy was performed. An investigation began. For two weeks, detectives discovered one baffling clue after another. They learned that Hazel was not the person everyone knew her to be.

"Who Killed Hazel Drew?" chronicles the nearly three week investigation in upstate New York and examines the clues that left detectives and the media frustrated. They examined, among other things:

A best friend that left town the same day Hazel quit her job

A family that did't fully cooperate with the investigation and was possibly concealing a closely guarded secret

An eccentric uncle and a controlling aunt

A missing purse

Unexplained trips to big cities

Mysterious letters destined to be destroyed

An unidentified couple seen on a train

A secret romance and engagement

Using primary sources and applying modern profiling techniques, "Who Killed Hazel Drew?" re-examines the century old murder and gives readers the opportunity to decide for themselves what really happened on that desolate mountain in 1908.
