Flagstaff's Walkup Family Murders: A Shocking 1937 Tragedy


Overview

A Small Town Heartbreak. In the summer of 1937, the mountain town of Flagstaff had emerged from the Great Depression with an eye toward the future. Few people were better positioned for success than JD Walkup, a handsome young mover and shaker who served as chairman of the board of supervisors and a happily married father of four. The city was alive and bustling, tourism thrived, and cultural endeavors blossomed. But JD's life changed forever one cool summer evening when his wife, Marie, and their children were found dead. The murders shook the town to its core, along with the disturbing knowledge that Marie was the culprit. Join author Susan Johnson as she explores the tragic history of a once-happy Flagstaff family.

Reviews

""Up on North Leroux Street sits a quiet single-family home. It blends right into the historic neighborhood, never calling any attention to itself. But the house holds a secret. It knows what happened inside its walls on the night of July 22, 1937. It's the only surviving thing that holds the answers to the questions that haunt Susan Johnson."" Arizona Daily Sun - Bree Burkitt, Arizona Daily Sun
