Autumn Hearne was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. Her fascination with local dark history, old newspapers, and true crime often makes for interesting (and awkward) dinner conversations. She works full-time as a database administrator, technical writer, and corporate trainer. In her free time, Autumn loves exploring cemeteries and unconventional destinations across Kansas with her husband. She is a mom to four bright children and three opinionated dogs. You can find more of Autumn’s cemetery photos and some true Kansas dark history stories on Instagram and TikTok (@midwesterndeathtrip), and on her website, www.midwesterndeathtrip.com.
