Beatrice G Epler was murdered by strangulation a few days before her 17th birthday. Her murder was quite a sensational story. A wealthy Michigan farmer of German descent was convicted of her murder and received a lifetime prison sentence, but he was paroled in 1934 after it was determined that a so-called private detective who "solved" the case may have lied and used threats to convince the main witness to commit perjury so that they could share a reward. Who really killed Beatrice Epler?
