I didn´t know that the murder of Laura Palmer in David Lynch´s TV series "Twin Peaks" was inspired by a real crime case, the murder of Hazel Drew in New York State in 1908. Apparently, Mark Frost (David Lynch´s co-creator) used to spend his summers in the area and heard local legends about Drew´s ghost still haunting the woods! There are indeed obvious (and disturbing) similarities between the true crime case and the TV series. Indeed, it seems that Lynch and Frost freely modelled every murder suspect in "Twin Peaks" on men who were at one point investigated for Drew´s murder. Except, I suppose, BOB...
