A Body at the Door: The Murder of Amanda Nelson

An Albuquerque wool broker's agent is found face-down on the caliche step of a small freight office on February 11, 1947, her handbag untouched with $41 and a letter of introduction still clasped inside - yet the medical evidence shows she was killed inside and carried out. The single anomaly in her passport - two U.S. entry stamps from Mexico on February 4 and February 7, 1947, with no exit between them - becomes the thread that unravels who staged the scene and why. Who used that impossible passport stamp to hide a motive for murder?

In this episode, you will hear the facts of the case as recorded at the scene, learn the professional role Amanda Nelson occupied in the Southwest wool trade, and follow the initial investigation led by Special Investigator Christine Fisher that pivots on ledger discrepancies and an odd passport. How did a sixty-two-year-old who read freight contracts like newspapers end up murdered after confronting a local freight agent?
