Stranger in the Window – Murder in the Heartland: the 1941 Cold Case of Leila A. Welsh by Cathy Coombs

By Book Goodies

This is a true story. In Kansas City, Missouri, a young and promising woman named Leila Welsh was tragically taken from this world on a fateful night in March 1941. After she returned home from a date, her life was brutally cut short sometime after 1:00 a.m. at the tender age of 24. Leila was a beloved teacher and very well-liked. Little did she know that her final evening would be shrouded in darkness and mystery. This case hit national media between 1941 and 1943. Ultimately, Leila’s brother was arrested, tried, and acquitted. The mystery of Leila’s death leads to a lot of speculation.


Targeted Age Group:: 18-99

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I initially learned about the 1941 crime while reading a republished article in a magazine during my wait for a doctor's appointment. My obsession with the victim, Leila Adele Welsh, began 13 years ago from that article to the last edit of my book. Since her case went unsolved, I felt her story needed to be retold. Leila grew up in an area where I used to live. We both also graduated from the same university.
