Episode description
He was just 30 years old and only four years out of law school when Duluth heiress Elizabeth Congdon was discovered smothered to death in her bed at Glensheen Mansion, her night nurse Velma Pietila fatally beaten with a candlestick.
Forty years later, then chief prosecutor John DeSanto joins the podcast this week to share his firsthand experience with Duluth's most well-known murder case.
"The day of June 27, 1977, Monday. I remember it like it was yesterday," DeSanto said.
