Episode 85: A Michigan Murder Mystery

53 years ago, Michigan was shaken by the gruesome murder of a family of six in their Northern Michigan, lakeshore cottage.  Today, it remains one of Michigan’s most mysterious cold cases.

“When Evil Came to Good Hart” is a book that chronicles the case, the family killed, the business dealings of the murdered father, the shady characters he worked with, and the detectives who spent decades working to prove their case.  Today, we talk to the author.

Mardi Link grew up Michigan and like a lot of people in the state spent summers up north on Lake Michigan.  She attended Michigan State University's school of journalism and has worked as a police and general assignment reporter, magazine editor, and freelance writer, and is now reporting for the Traverse City Record Eagle.
