White Bear Lake, Minnesota, is a typical, all-American town perched on the edge of the lake that gave the town its name. Many professional hockey players got their starts there, including Olympian Steve Janaszak, goalie of the famed “Miracle on Ice” gold medal team of 1980. But the town may be best known as the home of three year Dennis Jurgens, who was killed by his adoptive mother Lois in 1965.  It took over 20 years and the perseverance of his birth mother Jerry Sherwood and the testimony of another adopted son, Robert, to get justice for Dennis. But why wasn’t the case prosecuted in 1965? Find out on this episode of The Unlovely Truth.
