Joe Carlson True Crime Writer Blog

UPDATE: Joe has changed his blog to wordpress and the link to his blog is here.

Please leave a comment and bookmark! Visit it often, cuz I’ll update it almost every day. It is all you ever wanted to know about Parkman-Webster and garage sales at the Carlson home.

True crime author and Hatchet contributor, Joe Carlson, has a blog I would like to direct you to. Joe is the author of The Murder of Andrew Sigler, a book I highly recommend. Joe is currently hard at work on another true crime titled “Resurrectionist Man”.

I’m working on another true crime titled “Resurrectionist Man”. Dr. George Parkman was murdered in 1849 in Boston. Professor John White Webster was executed for the murder, but I doubt if he killed Parkman. There are many glaring inconsistencies about the crime. The custodian of the medical college, Ephraim Littlefield, was responsible. When I researched the case, I discovered that Littlefield had motive, means and opportunity. The title “Resurrectionist Man” came from Littlefield’s sideline profession: supplying bodies to the Harvard Medical School where he had his residence and Webster was Professor of Chemistry.

Happy Birthday Joe!

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
