A Virginia school teacher named Edith Maxwell found herself in a media frenzy when journalists nicknamed her "The Slipper Slayer" and "Hillbilly Pine Girl."
Maxwell was accused and eventually found guilty of murdering her alcoholic father, Trigg in 1935 Pound, VA.
Her case would make headlines, sparking a movie based on her story, and ultimately support from a First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
