May 9, 1963 – Torn, blood-stained trousers believed to have been worn by Carol Thompson’s murderer
were found today about seven miles north of Elk River, and about seven miles
west of the area where the Luger pistol used to bludgeon the victim was
recovered on April 30. The blue pants were torn in half, separated at the
crotch, and the two pieces found about three miles apart.
According to Chester Goenner, Sherburne county sheriff, “one of the pockets of
the trousers bore the name Anderson written in [indelible] ink in longhand and
clearly legible.”
“One of the men indicted by the Ramsey county grand jury on first-degree murder
charges in the Thompson murder [was] Dick W. C. Anderson.”
