Manage episode 472425340 series 2989215
One candy heiress, two bullets and three suspects.
The small Southern California island of Coronado rarely makes news for violent crime. But in the spring of 1975, World War II widow and retired librarian Ruth Quinn was murdered, execution-style, in her cottage. Her death sent a shock wave through the community. The granddaughter of Jujubes and Jujyfruits creator Henry Heide, Ruth was found fully clothed with her shoes on, in her bed, dead from two gunshot wounds. To this day, her murder has never been solved, but whispers about her brother, her son and even a local petty thief still swirl.
Author Taylor Baldwin Kiland sifts through the dirt for the facts about Ruth’s life and her untimely end in Coronado.
Taylor Baldwin Kiland is the third generation in her family to serve in the U.S. Navy and live in Coronado, California. She is the author, coauthor or ghostwriter of more than twenty books, mostly in the military nonfiction genre. She has written some children’s books, including one picture book about Coronado: Oz, Dog of the Del. She lives in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband and daughter, but she comes to the island once a month to check on her dad. Find her at TaylorKiland.com.
