Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour! Today we sip on delicious milk tea from Boba Tea Station in Sparks while Candace takes us through the mysterious and tragic death of Julia Bulette, a renowned figure of Virginia City in the mid-19th century. Julia, celebrated for her beauty and kindness, was an illustrious member of the community, known for her charitable work during the devastating smallpox epidemic and for hosting charity balls for widows and orphans. Her occupation as a sex worker only made her more exciting and desired in Virginia City. Her untimely demise in January 1867 sent shockwaves through the town, marking a dark chapter in its history. The pressure by the public to close the case of her murder ultimately led to the conviction and execution of French drifter Jean Millain, who may not have entirely been at fault. Intertwined with the rich tapestry of Virginia City's mining boom, Julia's story remains a poignant reminder of the era's turbulent nature and the enduring human spirit. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of Julia Bulette, whose memory still haunts the historic streets of Virginia City to this day. Stay spooky, babies!
