A Strangler In Revere Beach Massachusetts August 1939

by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr

Overview

Revere Beach and Suffolk County, Massachusetts were baffled about a murder case that happened on their watch on August 21, 1939. A woman's body was seen floating in the morning tide and a woman on shore screamed when she saw the wave battered body. The serenity of the natural beauty of the coastal scenery had been interrupted by a ghastly sight. Persons were interviewed after the body was id'd, yet for days there were no suspects. The woman whose body was discovered on the Atlantic shore worked as a waitress at the Tap Royale deli in Chelsea. Police interviewed the men she had conversed with on her job along with her husband, a construction worker in Suffolk County. This was America before the coming of World War II, and just weeks before Europe became enmeshed in a worldwide struggle against Nazi Germany. The victim of the battering/strangling was Edna Phelps. Formerly a hospital nurse, Edna was from Frederick County, Maryland.
