Synopsis
On June 27, 1977, an intruder entered Glensheen, the stately Duluth manor built along the Lake Superior shore. Before leaving with a basketful of stolen jewelry, the intruder used a satin pillow to smother Elisabeth Congdon and Velma Pietila. Together with former Duluth News-Tribune crime reporter Gail Feichtinger, Duluth Police Detective Gary Waller and St. Louis County Prosecutor John DeSanto--the men who investigated and prosecuted Marjorie and her husband, Roger Caldwell--bring readers behind the scenes of the Minnesota's most infamous double murder. Feichtinger then reaches beyond the Glensheen killings to follow Marjorie through her convictions for arson and presents new evidence that suggests that Marjorie may have gotten away with murder--five times. Why the Duluth News Tribune calls Will to Murder...  "The definitive book, the story behind the story of theCongdon-Pietila Murders" *Previously unpublished evidence *Crime scene diagrams and floorplans *Results of a DNA test which links key evidence to Roger Caldwell and calls into question Marjorie Caldwell Hagen's acquittal *More than fifty photographs, including exclusive images of the crime scenes *A timeline of events from the days before Glensheen was built to Marjorie Caldwell Hagen's 2004 prison release and on to her 2009 sentencing for theft, fraud, and forgery, On June 27, 1977, an intruder entered Glensheen, the stately Duluth manor built along the Lake Superior shore.

    Hurray! I finally found a Seller who believes in bubblewrap! The book is brand new, as described. It was (are you sitting down?) wrapped in a double layer of bubblewrap, then shipped in a nice, thick, bubble envelope! The book was listed at a very reasonable price, packaged beautifully, and shipped quickly. This was a perfect transaction from an excellent Seller, one I would not hesitate to purchase from again. Thank you very, very, much!

    As described and the flaw listed was not even noticeable in person and the one pictured, which appeared as glue/styrofoam on one small portion of this wooden object was readily fixable. The item is beautiful and nostalgic and fit perfectly in the diorama I created. This seller was also great to deal with and the item was packaged and shipped out very quickly. Highly recommend this seller!

  • Horrifying true story

    Excellent quality. This true story has you in it's grip from the beginning. Shocking realization how greed and a twisted mind can result in murder.
