Murder At Blue Sea Cottage
My special guest is author James Stewart, here to unravel the shocking 1923 murder of a 20-year-old dancer that spiraled into one of the most sensationalized trials in San Diego’s history. Get his book Murder at the Blue Sea Cottage on Amazon.
Set against the backdrop of Jazz Age San Diego—with yellow journalism, Hollywood scandals, Prohibition corruption, and a raging culture war—this haunting case follows Fritzie Mann, a young and bewitching dancer whose mysterious death on Torrey Pines beach baffled investigators.
Was it murder, suicide, or accident? A botched autopsy, scandalous revelations, and a gripping courtroom battle between an ambitious district attorney and a star Los Angeles defense counsel turned this case into national headlines. At its core lies the chilling question: What really happened at the Blue Sea Cottage?

00:00:31.059 --> 00:00:40.180
In fact, she refused to reveal the guy's name. She wouldn't say who it was, and she wouldn't say exactly where it was they were going. She was very vague about it.

And that was the reason why her mother knew something was up because this wasn't like her. Normally she would tell her who she was going with. And in this case, she just wouldn't do it. Okay, wait, wait, wait.

So before she met this gentleman that she was in a rush to go be with, I guess, overnight, um, was her mother at all concerned about her any other, you know, meeting – was her mother concerned at all about meeting any other shady characters while she was out on the road at all?
