In 1934, Paul Ostin was a husband, a father, and just another working man in Detroit.
Then he was found dead—posed beneath a tree, dressed in women’s clothing.
For a few weeks, the newspapers couldn’t get enough of the story. The speculation was feverish, the headlines sensational. And then—nothing. The press went silent. The public moved on. Paul Ostin’s name was lost to history.
Until now.
In this debut episode of Allie in the Archives, historian Allie Seibert unearths the strange and largely forgotten death of Paul Ostin, raising new questions about who may have wanted him gone—and why the story disappeared so quickly.
Some stories are meant to stay hidden.
But some find their way back.
Welcome to the archives.
