Coronado
Seaside resort town famed for a grand Victorian beach hotel and an unsolved nineteenth-century death that still haunts it.
This guide to Coronado in San Diego opens with a riddle: what kind of revolver fires a bullet that does not match its own barrel. It follows Kate Morgan, a housekeeper from Los Angeles who checked into the Hotel del Coronado under a false name the night before Thanksgiving 1892, telling staff a brother would join her who never came, and who was found dead on the outdoor staircase five days later. You'll hear how investigators pieced together her real identity and the detail from the coroner's inquest that would not go away, plus how a San Francisco lawyer reopened the case decades on. Stand at the top of that staircase and take in the view she would have had.
