The Tragic Murder of Anna Wiese
Manage episode 436461217 series 3486901
On Monday, August 26th, 1893, 20-year-old Anna Wiese was brutally murdered on her way home from a friend’s house. Coined ‘Atrocious Murder in Iowa,’ this crime is incredibly hard to get to the bottom of due to multiple factors: the time period, the environment, and lack of criminal analysis. We at Tea Time Crimes have a hunch on who did it, but we want to hear from you, too!
