Robin Flinchum, author of the new book The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth and the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City, discusses the lives and brutal deaths of four women working as prostitutes who lived in the neighborhood above San Francisco's Portsmouth Square in the 1850s and 1860s. Before the area became today's Chinatown, it was home to sex workers from all over the world.
