from Old Blood · host Old Blood

On January 11, 1902, 15-year-old Nora Fuller responded to a nanny wanted advertisement in the San Francisco Examiner. She called her family an hour later, saying that she was hired and at the man’s home. When Nora never returned home, her brother visited the address to find it was a vacant lot.
