Summary Before Twin Peaks and the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer changed television forever, there was a true 1908 crime that’s eerily similar to the events of the series. One of the things that makes Twin Peaks one of the best TV shows of its era is how it helped to transform the crime genre. The complex presentation of Laura, the murder victim, defies the misogynistic, polarized perceptions of women that crime fiction and true crime alike are prone to perpetuate.
Laura Palmer Is Based On A Real 1908 Murder Hazel Irene Drew's Death Inspired Twin Peaks Close Hazel Irene Drew — the inspiration for Twin Peaks’ Laura Palmer — was seen for the last time on July 7, 1908. Hazel's community was shaken when a group of teen hikers discovered her body in Teal’s Pond four days later at Sand Lake, Troy, NY. The real-life mystery thickened as letters, postcards, and photos from many admirers revealed a secret life that Hazel’s parents were ignorant of.
In his foreword to The Secret History of Twin Peaks, he expanded that when he asked Betty about who the ghost was supposed to be, she could hardly remember the original event, referring to a girl who was murdered and thrown in the pond, almost as a ‘throwaway’ comment. It wasn’t throwaway to Frost — he maintained that ‘a real person died in that water.’The haunting of Hazel would stay with him, influencing his imagination.
Although there is a real town called Twin Peaks, much of the Twin Peaks show is filmed in North Bend, WA.
