In 1965, Charles Schmid became infamously known around the nation as “The Pied Piper of Tucson” after being arrested for the murders of three vanished girls. Their remains were found, and his trial skyrocketed into national news headlines, magazine, and even Playboy. But one young girl watched this unfold in front of her eyes as she slept next to the Pied Piper, her husband. Diane Schmid was married to Charles, and for the first time in 60 years, the widow reveals everything she saw during that time. Was he her one true love? Or does she see him as a monster?
