About Margaret Owen

Margaret Owen was a burlesque actress who unwittingly became a decoy in the murder of Detroit, Michigan radio personality Jerry Buckley, on July 23, 1930. She made a phone call to Buckley which she believed was to invite him to a party at the La Salle Hotel in Detroit, following a recall election, which ousted Detroit mayor Charles Bowles. Instead, Buckley, a crusading political reporter, was gunned down in the hotel lobby by three assailants following Owen's 1:30 A.M. call. Buckley was an avid critic of Bowles and his life had been threatened earlier.
