THE WEEKEND: Tales from the Morgue

Newspaper libraries filled with old files and news clippings are called "morgues," and every Sunday in the El Paso Times, Trish Long shares Tales from the Morgue.  She joins us on this program to tell us some fascinating and long-forgotten tales of El Paso history, including the B-36 Bomber that crashed into the Franklin Mountains in 1953...the very first airline hijacking that ended at the El Paso airport...and El Paso's penchant for being Ground Zero for Hollywood divorces for celebs such as Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield.
