On the night of December 26th, 1983, friends Margaret Anderson and Terry Apfel entered a Green Bay bar named the Back Forty, at 618 Bodart Way, during a night out. 

The Back Forty was owned by a member of the Drifters Motorcycle Club, and known as a popular hangout for Drifters members, and members of other motorcycle clubs as well.  Clubs like the DC Eagles, thought by some to be a more menacing, renegade motorcycle gang.

The motorcycle club subculture was prominent in NE Wisconsin at the time, and still holds a steady influence today in the region. 

On this particular night, however, during the holiday season of 1983, members of the Drifters and the DC Eagles committed acts so disturbing, the event is still remembered today for its pure cruelty and brutality, even leading to the motorcycle clubs themselves to aid in the resulting investigations. 

Scott and Mickey discuss this case, called the most brutal murder in Green Bay's history, and some of the arising issues in our sentencing laws. 

In the opening banter, we recap the 2nd Annual Great Lakes Paracon, and a sad update on Elijah Vue.

All here, on Episode 45 of Badger Bizarre, "Margaret Anderson."
