Many people in the Southwest claim they have seen La Llorona or the weeping woman. People have spotted her along the Rio de Flag in Flagstaff all the way down to the San Pedro River near Tucson. Plus, hear the tale of the Baron of Arizona.

For the final episode of this season, we’re going way back with two stories about the ancient past of Arizona’s land and its people.

In this episode, we venture into some untold tales about food, fiction and film — some of the little-known arts and culture stories of the Grand Canyon State. In Tucson, we enter the Worlds of Words. Then, we go to a small valley in southern Arizona that has seen the silver screen. Finally, a globetrotting pastry finds its way to Tempe.

The Untold Arizona podcast is back for season two with five new episodes! In this episode, we’re hitting the Arizona road.

We’re heading for Mexico. The first story is a mystery older than Arizona itself. For more than 50 years, historians have been uncertain whether the body of a famed explorer from the Spanish Crown was actually who everyone assumed it to be. And almost two centuries ago, the U.S. fought a gruesome war against Mexico and annexed a vast territory that includes Arizona. So, what does Arizona mean to Mexico nowadays, considering the past, but also the present and future?

For the first tale, we consider how the site of a violent murder turned into a destination of hope for many. Arizona’s past is riddled with conflicts — including a merciless war that started in the tiny village of Young. And while not as famous as Tombstone, it was just as bloody.
