The sightseeing
guide for your own tour of
Phoenix
Exposed
Places the Chamber
of Commerce won't tell you about.

Colonel
Hogan's Final Act. 7430 E. Chaparral Road (1/4 mile
east of Scottsdale Road), Scottsdale. Bob Crane starred as
Colonel Hogan in the 1960's sitcom Hogan's Heros. A tour
of the dinner theater brought him to Scottsdale Windmill Theater
in the summer of 1978. He was found bludgeoned to death at the
Winfield apartments where he was staying. A video camera and an
impressive library of group sex videos was found in the
apartment near his body. The tapes featured him, numerous ladies
and the man suspected of bludgeoning him to death with a camera
tripod.
The
Dumpster Murder. Thirteen year old Jeremy Bach
invited a classmate and rival for his girlfriend to his home to
listen to music. Jeffrey claims that he accidentally shot his
classmate. It was no accident that Jeremy listened to tapes for
the next 2 hours while his classmate bled to death. Jeremy put
the lifeless body in the dumpster where it awaited in front of
the upscale Phoenix residence to be picked up by the trash
collectors.
Alfred
Hitchock's Psycho. Psycho opens with the camera
zooming in on a room not of the Bates Motel, but Jefferson Hotel
in dowtown Phoenix. The hotel has been completely renovated and
is now an office building.
Trunks
of Blood. The 26 year old bride of a 56 year old
physician arrived at Los Angeles Union Station with two trunks
and a valise containing the dismembered bodies of two young
women with whom she had had a "relationship." When she
returned to Phoenix courtesy of a police escort, 20,000
residents lined the street to catch a glimpse of the
"hatchet murderess". Visit the location of most
notorious crime in 1930's Phoenix.
The World's First
McDonald's Franchise. Those golden arches
originated in California--right? Wrong! The first McDonald's
arches ever, and the first McDonald's franchise ever were right
here in Phoenix. Visit the location where it all started. What
the heck, have a burger and fries too!
The
Only Marilyn Monroe Movie Filmed in Phoenix.
Or...maybe not. There really was a Monroe movie filmed here, but
the page isn't done. Click here, and you'll just get an error.
Man
Slept With His Dead Wife for Eleven Years. Frank
Martinez said that he came home to find that his wife had
ended her life with a bullet through the head. Rather than
report the death, he left the body in the bed of their tiny
trailer and continued to live with her for eleven years. He
didn't report the death because he was afraid police would think
it was he that shot her--just like the last time she was shot.
Visit the trailer park where the couple (or half of the couple)
lived. Have a burger at the restaurant where Frank tried to take
his own life.
