For those that looked at Rose's blog before I just thought I'd pass this on. Recently Rose's father passed away and in cleaning out his apartment she found many old photos and has since worked out who a lot of the people were and uncovered a family murder mystery! This is about where the story starts, in between are her usual entries about kit homes. When you follow it until today you find she has unearthed family history, many kit homes and a town full of wonderful people!

If you go back to right after her father passed away she talks of how he has a twin and they grew up in Santa Monica, they were called the Muscle Twins when they went and worked out at the beach. Part of the beginning of Muscle Beach. I can't wait to see if she finds out more about the family in September.

Just thought I'd update this with the news that tonight Rose is staying in the Fargo Mansion in which she believes her great aunt was murdered. She has found lots of new information on the mystery.

Me again, this should be a link to a video of a talk Rose gave in Lake Mills about the death/murder of Addie.

Don't believe anyone has updated the blog that started this thread but mention had been made on the blog that the family suspected that Addie had been murdered.

It seems that the grave was exhumed yesterday and Addie's remains will be autopsied.

I live 28 miles from that house.

I can go take a look if you want?

Thanks for the update!

Rose has pictures of the house and has spoken to the owners. Thanks anyway.

As of last night the details were posted elsewhere and Rose didn't want it shared with everyone yet, she has received a lot of hate mail about this. I have a list of links which I might post here which tell the story from beginning until now, it is hard to navigate the blog to do that if you are just starting to read about this. Maybe it should have a new thread, do you think?

I know the story but a simple google of "Addie Hoyt Fargo" brings up many links and the facebook page as well. From the happenings and discoveries at the gravesite, it is looking more and more like foul play was involved.

I hate haters

I put a thread in the lounge with all the links in order.

Rose made a comment on The Daily Union facebook page that 90% of the skeletal remains were recovered.

Big newspaper article today, hoping it will lead to more information. There is a link to Rose's blog which has updates too.

You have to read the comments on the article, someone from Dr. Oatway's family has left a comment saying he did confess to falsifying the death certificate!!!!
