Will to Murder
The True Story Behind the Crimes & Trials Surrounding the Killings at Glensheen
By Gail Feichtinger, John DeSanto, and Gary Waller
The story of the crimes and trials surrounding Marjorie Congdon Caldwell Hagen, Elisabeth Congdon’s notorious adopted daughter, is brought to light by former Duluth Detective Gary Waller and St. Louis County Prosecutor John DeSanto, the men who first investigated and prosecuted Marjorie and her husband, Roger Caldwell. Together with former Duluth News Tribune crime reporter Gail Feichtinger, Waller and DeSanto bring readers behind the scenes of Minnesota’s most infamous double murder. They frankly discuss their successes and failures in order to explain how a man who claimed innocence was convicted of two counts of murder and later confessed to the crimes—only to be set free. Feichtinger then reaches beyond the Glensheen killings to follow Marjorie through her convictions for arson and other crimes, presenting evidence that suggests she may have gotten away with murder—five times.
