Infamy and death at Hurley tale of a lumber hell
The Hurley Wisconsin murder tale tells how Honora Benton, an aspiring Leesville bride, was lured into a Hurley den by a suave man. After weeks of captivity near the lumber camps, she wrote pleading letters and faced brutal abuse before her body was found in the woods. Investigators traced the case toward Chicago, while local authorities did little to help. The piece paints a bleak portrait of the region’s predatory dens and the fate of women drawn into them.
