The Bloody Trunk of Monte Carlo: Marie Goold
August 1907. A trunk leaks on a Marseille platform. Inside is a woman’s torso. Head and legs in another bag. Jewels beside them.
The couple who checked the luggage called themselves Sir and Lady Goold. She was Marie — French dressmaker, self-styled lady, and the woman Monaco’s court sentenced to death.
Alexander Lawson tells the story of the Monte Carlo trunk murder: a faded Wimbledon finalist, a widow who came to collect a debt, a villa a short walk from the casino, and the last capital sentence ever handed down in the Principality.
