The murder of Carol Thompson was known to many as the “murder of the century” and has actually been rumored as having been the inspiration for the 1996 film, Fargo.

In the morning on March 6, 1963, a woman looks out her window and sees something that makes her do a 'double take'. She sees her neighbor slumped on the front steps of her home. She's partially clothed in a robe and bloodied beyond recognition. Carol Thompson was brutally attacked in her home and barely makes it out alive. But a few hours later, she succumbs to her injuries. Police quickly began their investigation. One person that all roads seemed to be leading to was her hotshot criminal attorney husband. But did he really do it? Or was this a passerby whose robbery attempt had gone wrong?
