Author: Steven C. Drielak
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439670331
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
A new look at the 1937 abduction of a wealthy wife and mother, based on previously classified FBI documents—includes photos. When she was kidnapped from Long Meadow Farm in Stony Brook, New York, in 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons was the heir to a vast fortune among Long Island’s wealthy elite. The crime shocked the nation and was front-page news for several months. J. Edgar Hoover personally assigned his best FBI agents to the case, and within a short time, Parsons’s husband and their live-in housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova, had become prime suspects. Botched ransom attempts, clashes between authorities, and romantic intrigue kept the investigation mired in drama. The crime remained unsolved. Now, in this book, former Suffolk County detective Steven C. Drielak reveals previously classified FBI documents—and pieces together the mystery of the Alice Parsons kidnapping.

MEET MRS GREEN – GOOD COOK, EVIL POISONER When Mrs Green entered domestic service as a cook in the 1920s, she had no idea she was going to end up as a convicted criminal. Anyone who personally knew her was convinced she was innocent. But when a German diplomat dropped down dead after attending a dinner party she'd cooked for, suspicions were raised. The fact that she had a Jewish background counted against her. Had she poisoned him? It was now a time of political tensions in Europe and the authorities were quick to act. A conniving British politician leads the way. Either prosecute Mrs Green or risk offending the Germans and starting a war! Unfortunately, there were just too many powerful people ranged against her. A miscarriage of justice and a guilty verdict seals her fate. Somehow, she will have to find a way out of her terrible predicament. But three questions remained: What was the butler up to? Was Mrs Green really as innocent as she claimed to be? And who was the mysterious person she kept writing to?
