ISBN: 9780961377809.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best-selling book about the Congdon murders in Duluth, Minnesota. Now a major tourist attraction, the guides wont tell you much about the infamous murders committed there. Heiress Elisabeth Congdon, 83-years-old and partially paralyzed, was smothered in her bed. Her night nurse was brutally beaten to death on the grand stairway, trying to defend her charge.\nThe police immediately suspected MIss Congdons adopted daughter, Marjorie Congdon Caldwell, and her new husband, Roger Caldwell. Greed was the motive, they alleged.\nRoger Caldwell was tried and convicted of the crime, but a jury later acquitted Marjorie, whod been charged with planning the crime.\nThe story continues, though, with Marjorie charged with bigamy, arson and more murder.\nThe book takes you through the history of the crimes, and provides maps and floor plans of the mansion, so you can follow along on the tours, without incurring the wrath of the guides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jaykay Pub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932292579381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0961377801","price":60.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780961377809.jpg?v=1794222896","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/secrets-of-the-congdon-mansion-9780961377809","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
