On July 17th, 1889, the residents of Clayton County, Iowa woke up
to news of the worst crime in their history. A Civil War veteran
John Elkins and his young wife Hattie had been murdered in their
bed in a grisly attack. Their two children escaped to raise the
alarm. But something was off. There were no suspects. There were no
clues. To quote the local newspaper, the whole thing was
“surrounded in a veil of mystery." Say hello on Twitter, Facebook
