June 02, 2021 Part 1: Murder in Room 30 - The Killing of Marie Wick
A four-part podcast by Forum Communications, Tracy Briggs and "The Vault"

This month marks the 100th anniversary of one of Fargo’s most notorious and sensational murders. On June 6, 1921, 18-year-old Marie Wick left her small family farm outside Grygla, MInn to visit relatives in North Dakota.

But her overnight stay in "the big city" of Fargo, North Dakota turned deadly. She was found dead the next morning (June 7) in her hotel room.

Police soon found the man they believed committed the brutal attack and he was eventually found guility and sentenced to life in prison. But did they make a mistake?

Twenty-two years later, with a change of prosecutors, the answer might be "yes," as defense attornies and prosectuors fight to right a wrong and free an innocent man. But if the man convicted didn't do it, who did? And will justice ever be served?
