Sept. 29, 1983 - Two Ruthton, Minn., bankers, Rudy Blithe and Toby Thulin,1 came to meet a potential buyer of a repossessed farm. “Instead, they were met by Jim Jenkins and his son Steven, the family they'd repossessed the property from three years earlier. And, the Jenkins were there for revenge.”2 Both bankers were shot and killed. Jim and Steve Jenkins escaped to Texas where the father committed suicide.
“Steven Jenkins, barely [18-years-old] at the time, professes his innocence but is convicted of the murders. Seventeen years later he would admit in an interview that he had killed the bankers.”3
