June 20, 1963 – Dick W.C. Anderson confessed this evening to the murder of Carol Thompson in her home on March 6, breaking open the case that had been under heavy investigation by metro area authorities for three and a half months. Arrested in Phoenix, Ariz., on April 19, Anderson was charged at that time with first-degree murder. At 6 p.m. today, Anderson gave “a lengthy and detailed statement to Detective Lt. George Barkley, head of the [St. Paul] homicide division.
In his statement, Anderson admitted that he “entered the Thompson home alone early on the morning of March 6, and attacked Mrs. Thompson after Thompson and his children had left for work and school.” Anderson also implicated three other persons in the slaying: Norman Mastrian, Sheldon Morris and T. Eugene Thompson, the murdered woman’s husband.
