One candy heiress, two bullets, and three suspects.Coronado rarely makes news for violent crime. But in the spring of 1975, World War II widow and retired librarian Ruth Quinn was murdered, execution-style, in her cottage. Her death sent a shock wave through the community. The granddaughter of Jujubes and Jujyfruits creator Henry Heide, Ruth was found fully clothed with her shoes on, in her bed, dead from two gunshot wounds. To this day, her murder has never been solved, but whispers about her brother, her son, and even a local petty thief still swirl.The Coronado Historical Association is proud to host Coronado author Taylor Baldwin Kiland as she sifts through the dirt for the facts about Ruth's life and her untimely end fifty years ago. This event will take place virtually over Zoom on May 19 at 5:00 p.m. RSVP at Coronadohistory.org to receive the link. Visit: https://coronadohistory.org/

The film follows Iain's life through the present. Traveling from Kenya to be at the screening in person will be champions from Save the Elephants, who have committed their lives to preserving these majestic creatures. A Q&A will follow the screening.
