From R. Barri Flowers, an award-winning criminologist and
best-selling author of Murder of the Horse Trainer’s Rival, Murderess on the
Loose, Murder at the Pencil Factory, and Murder of the Doctor’s Wife, comes the
thought-provoking new historical true-crime audio short, Killer of Her
Husband’s Secretary: The 1935 Love Triangle Ire of Etta Reisman.
On the morning of August 14, 1935, Virginia Seigh, an
attractive 23-year-old secretary, was shot and killed as she stood in the
driveway of a home in Queens, New York. Her murderer was Mrs. Etta Reisman, the
35-year-old wife of Arthur Reisman, a 42-year-old well-to-do owner of a beauty
salon chain.
The previous day, Reisman had confessed to his wife he had
fallen in love with Miss Seigh - his secretary, who had resided with the
Reismans for seven years - and wanted a separation. This did not set well with
Etta, who felt totally betrayed by her husband and their house guest, causing
her to snap and go on a shooting frenzy.
Along with Reisman himself, also witnessing the shocking
homicide was his daughter from an earlier marriage, Annette Reisman. The
23-year-old was injured when she attempted to take the gun from the unhinged
shooter.
Etta Reisman was arrested and charged with murder in this
classic case of a love triangle that ended tragically for all parties
concerned. The embittered wife turned vengeful killer was convicted of the
crime of violence, resulting in a stunning and controversial action the judge
set in motion.
The heartbreaking tale of Etta Reisman has endured through
the decades as, sadly, many others have followed the same path of jealous rage
as an often impulsive and deadly response to being wronged, paying an even
greater price themselves in the final analysis
.
Bonus material includes a chapter from the author’s
best-selling true-crime work Serial Killer Couples and excerpts from the
author’s true-crime anthologies Murder and Menace and Murder Chronicles.
