My special guest is author James Stewart, here to unravel the shocking 1923 murder of a 20-year-old dancer that spiraled into one of the most sensationalized trials in San Diego’s history. Get his book Murder at the Blue Sea Cottage on Amazon.

Set against the backdrop of Jazz Age San Diego—with yellow journalism, Hollywood scandals, Prohibition corruption, and a raging culture war—this haunting case follows Fritzie Mann, a young and bewitching dancer whose mysterious death on Torrey Pines beach baffled investigators.

Was it murder, suicide, or accident? A botched autopsy, scandalous revelations, and a gripping courtroom battle between an ambitious district attorney and a star Los Angeles defense counsel turned this case into national headlines. At its core lies the chilling question: What really happened at the Blue Sea Cottage?
