Tiger Woman Winnie Judd Captured Seven Years After Escape
Winnie Ruth Judd known as the Tiger Woman was seized by Martinez California deputies seven years after her 1960s escape from an Arizona mental hospital. The 65 year old, living under the name Marian Lane, was found at a Danville home where she worked as a housekeeper. She denied her identity but fingerprints confirmed it. She will be returned to Arizona where her death sentence for the 1931 Phoenix murders was commuted to life if ever sane. Authorities tied her to an unsolved slaying through an automobile registered to her. She remained the famed trunk murderer whose victims were dismembered and shipped to Los Angeles, events that triggered a nationwide manhunt and multiple escapes until the 1962 vanishing. She cooperated with deputies but appeared nervous as she was taken into custody with two poodles on leashes.
