In this gripping episode of Plant Murder, we delve into the tragic and mysterious story of Violet Sharp, a young British maid entangled in the shadow of the Lindbergh kidnapping. Amid the frenzy of America's most infamous crime, Violet’s life unraveled under relentless scrutiny, shifting alibis, and mounting suspicion. Her tragic death—by poison with the scent of bitter almonds—left behind questions of guilt, innocence, and the crushing weight of systemic injustice. Was she a scapegoat for a desperate nation seeking answers, or did she carry dark secrets to her grave? Join us as we explore the storm of class, grief, and vengeance that turned Violet’s life into a cautionary tale of justice gone awry.
