This is the full story of 'Mississippi's Lizzie Borden' and a sensational matricide that gripped a nation. In Mississippi 1935, a daughter in a wealthy and troubled family stood accused of murdering her mother. On her testimony, authorities arrested a prominent businessman, her reputed lover and accomplice. Ouida Keeton allegedly shot her mother, chopped her up, and disposed on most of the body down the toilet and in the fireplace, disposing of all but the pelvic region and thighs. Attempting to dispose of those remains on an isolated road, the killer left a trail of evidence that ended in her arrest. The controversial outcome of her trial, decided by an unsophisticated jury, has been left muddled by ambiguity which Hunter Cole seeks to clarify including new facts previously distorted by hearsay, and misinformation. He pursues many unanswered questions such as what really did Ouida do with the rest of her mother? "The Legs Murder Scandal" attempts to provide readers with clarity in a story that is outlandish, harrowing, and intriguing. Ouida Keeton was found guilty and sent to the infamous Parchman State Prison who deemed her 'crazy beyond their capabilities' and committed to the Whitfield Insane Asylum where she spent the rest of her wretched life.
