Description

Finally, the true story of the Glensheen killings–the murder of elderly Duluth heiress Elisabeth Congdon and her nurse–as told through the eyes of former Duluth detective Gary Waller and St. Louis County prosecutor John DeSanto. This team led the case’s investigation and successful prosecution of Roger Caldwell, Congdon’s son-in-law, in the most notorious double murder in Minnesota history. The authors frankly discuss their successes and failures to explain how the man they convicted of murder, Roger Caldwell, was later set free–after confessing to the crimes! They also follow Marjorie Congdon Caldwell; Elisabeth’s notorious adopted daughter, over her arrests and convictions for a string of arsons and present evidence that suggests she may have gotten away with murder–four times.
