Tillie’s Last Walk

Unsolved Mysteries

Show Notes

In the early hours of April 9, 1886, Tillie Smith, an 18-year-old who lived and worked at Centenary Collegiate Institute, was raped and strangled, her assaulted body left in an open field. Many have claimed Tillie still haunts the grounds of Centenary College, and that the man convicted of her murder was actually innocent of the crime. An investigation by a local historian and a paranormal investigator leads to a new suspect in Tillie’s murder.
