Murder Near the Crosses by Peter Sandman PDF Summary

Book Description: In 1949 a young woman was killed in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Ovida (Cricket) Coogler became a household name in the small agricultural town just north of the U.S./Mexico border that was celebrating its first 100 years. Her death became national news when Time magazine ran a story about it. The investigation of her murder soon involved not only the local police, but also the New Mexico State Police, and the FBI. Even J. Edgar Hoover took a personal interest in the search for her killer. It wasnt just Crickets death that interested these government agencies. Organized crime was testing whether New Mexico could soon become the gambling capital of the West. Bugsy Siegel was seen in Santa Fe. The Cleveland Mob was operating illegal casinos in the state. Meyer Lansky, Moe Dalitz, and Butts Lowenstein were making their presence known. The governor, lieutenant governor, and other state officials were enjoying the attention accorded people who could make things happen. In the midst of these activities was a member of the Doa Ana County sheriffs department who carefully investigated the young womans murder, kept extensive notes, and himself became a victim of the times. Roy Sandman, the authors father, knew who the killer was. He didnt live to tell, and so the death of Cricket Coogler remains one of the best known, unsolved murders in New Mexico. This is the story that Sandman would have told.
