IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom, 2275 Platt Road
Join us as we welcome true crime author Tobin Buhk, who will tell us about the infamous Michigan Borgia who used strychnine to lop off an entire branch of her family tree, and three sirens who lured a rich lawyer to his death. The Detroit House of Corrections was the only Michigan prison to house women serving long sentences. Learn about an inmate there who poisoned her victims solely to attend their funerals in her black dress. True crime afficionados are sure to love Tobin’s meticulous research and vintage photographs. Tobin Buhk is a true crime writer and researcher who probes the dark corners of history from his base in West Michigan. To research his first two books, he became a volunteer in a county morgue. Tobin is currently working on his 20th book.
