Hazel and Nancy Frome was found dead from being tortured and shot in the side of the head. Hazel was fifty years old at the time of her death as Nancy was twenty-three years old at her death also. Soon after, the bodies of Hazel and Nancy were found by Jim Milam during Sunday at twilight, as part of a volunteer search party as he almost stumbled over them in the desert.

Hazel and her daughter Nancy Frome seemed to be living charmed lives when they set off on their cross-country road trip on Wednesday, March 23rd, 1938.

Pop Frome traveled frequently for his job and was often away from home for weeks at a time and was introduced to a red-headed showgirl of German descent, Adelonda, who performed at the hotel where he was staying. Frome visited her frequently when he was traveling in the area but, after a time, he decided to break it off. Adelonda, working with some nefarious associates from the criminal underworld, decided to threaten to go public and tell his family about the affair, so Frome began giving her substantial monthly payments to keep quiet.

While driving in the Sonoran Desert in Southern California and Nancy had started getting leg cramps and a cold that was getting worse. So they decided to stop by a hotel in Phoenix Arizona.

The following morning, Friday, March 25th, they set out again to the east, traveling even bleaker terrain than the prior day. Very soon into their day's travel, the Packard's engine began to backfire as they made their way through the foreboding Chihuahuan Desert.
Limping the car forward, Hazel and Nancy made another 200 miles through New Mexico until they finally reached their stopping point at 6 o'clock on a Friday night, the luxurious Hotel Cortez in El Paso, Texas.

Ebell often acted as the doctor-on-call for the Hotel Cortez and was called to visit Nancy’s hotel room on the night of Friday, March 25th to check on her reported ailments. There he likely learned from Hazel about her husband's prestigious executive role at the Atlas Powder Company. But Ebell's quiet medical practice was also the perfect cover for what was his real occupation: that of one of Adolf Hitler's top spies in the U.S., with a specific mission to help garner information on the American military at the El Paso military facility, Fort Bliss.

The next morning, Mr. White had drove their car to the Packard dealership to repair the vehicle. The replacement part the car needs is all the way in Detroit so the car could be driven until mid-week. Hazel and Nancy are stuck now, so they decided to trolley across the border into Juarez, Mexico to go shop. When they arrived, they were confronted with protests and chaos because they all were targeting Americans as they returned to the hotel safely.

On Sunday, March 27th, 1938, they decided to sightsee on the American side of the border in El Paso with Mr. White and his wife.

On Monday, Hazel visited a Fortune Teller, Allie Gillespie in El Paso. She made a reading on Hazel and it said that she saw death in her future because of a journey with no return. She may not be the perpetrator, but she is only a Fortune Teller.

The plan called for six days of hard driving, with mother and daughter alternating at the wheel, stopping only at night to sleep. Their intention was to arrive at Mada's house in South Carolina on Tuesday, March 29th.

His career as a criminal, con-man, illegal abortionist and medical quack with 30 known aliases. He claimed to be an exiled Russian aristocrat linked to the family of Tsar Nicholas II. He also chronically broke and traveled from town to town in the US, staying one step ahead of his latest victim of some swindle or bad loan. He was seen in the Juarez nightclub with another identified man chatting and sharing cocktails with Hazel and Nancy while they were waiting for their car to be repaired, where he undoubtedly learned the details of their trip and the identity of Pop Frome.

On Wednesday, March 30th, the Packard was repaired and was brought to the front of the hotel around 11:00 a.m. But the morning, a few miles away in Juarez, an assassin's bomb exploded at a government building.
They then got back on the road again escaping the attack. Hazel and Nancy eventually meet a horrible end along the highway between El Paso and Dallas.

On April 1st, two engineers reported an abandoned Packard near the intersection of US 80 and US Highway 290 which was the northern route branched off Route 80 on the way to San Antonio. But to get to Dallas, they should've taken the northern fork.

At twilight the following Sunday, April 3rd, a search party found both bodies, further west on U.S. side-by-side, face down, in a shallow gravel pit, just south of the highway. The Fromes appeared to have been tortured before both were shot in the side of the head.

Suspect #5- Pancho Flores & Manuel Garcia 

# data[].attributes.body
Both Flores and Garcia are well-known to the local authorities and were a part of the notorious Red Sash gang, named so because of the bold red sash each of its members wore. But, several motorists were interviewed and reported that they saw two Mexican Men, wearing the red sash, on horseback in the area. They don't seem like they are the perpetrators because, Garcia and Flores were two of those men and the car the Fromes drove on this trip was an obvious marker of wealth rarely seen in this desert.

# data[].attributes.body
Jim Milam is a suspect due to him finding the bodies during a search party. He is not the perpetrator because of him volunteering with the search party and he found both of the bodies.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the killer is Aledonda, because of her threats towards Pop Frome and the affair he had as she was blackmailing him that she would tell the public and his family about the affair, so that meant that Frome had to begin giving her monthly payments to keep quiet. Many years of shame, and some two months before his wife and daughter's fateful trip, Pop Frome had enough and suddenly cut off payments to Adelonda, regardless of the consequences. So, in conclusion, I believe Adelonda is the killer of Hazel and Nancy Frome.
