MoNo Encore: The Murder of Carol Thompson w/ Bill Swanson
Manage episode 473998913 series 2476860
(Original pub date: 3/11/20)
While the Coen brothers refuse to confirm it, many believe that their movie "Fargo" was inspired by the Carol Thompson murder case. She was viciously killed in her comfortable Saint Paul home by a hitman hired by her eccentric husband, T. Eugene Thompson, in March of 1963, leaving behind four small children. It was an absolutely sensational case, one not only covered extensively by local press, but by national and international press as well.
Longtime journalist William Swanson covers the case with me. His book is called "Dial M: The Murder of Carol Thompson".
