In September 1934, a portion of a woman’s torso was found on the shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland. Weeks later other parts of her body were found, turned red from an unknown chemical. The woman became known as the “Lady of the Lake.” This seemingly isolated murder foreshadowed a grisly killer that haunted Cleveland for years to come. Today let’s discuss the puzzling case of the Cleveland Torso Killer.

They had no immediate family, they did not speak any English, and perhaps most strangely, they were said to have green skin. Today, we look at the fact and fiction behind the story of the Green Children of Woolpit.
