On This Date in Minnesota History: May 3

May 3, 1963 – The car believed to have been used in the disposal of the gun used to bludgeon Carol Thompson in her Highland Park home was located. It matches the description of a car seen outside the Thompson home on the morning of the murder.

“A trace of the blue Ford’s ownerships shows that at the time of the crime it was owned by C&M Equipment Co., a car-lease agency” in NE Minneapolis, and had been leased to Harris Construction Co., where alleged murderer Dick W. C. Anderson was working.
