True Crime Historian

Episode 271

It seemed pretty obvious that the murder of Beate Marie Voss was the unfortunate result of a botched burglary, similar to a string of others of late in Reno, but tracking down the itinerant killer would take some clever and dogged police work. Told from the perspective of Reno Chief of Police Harry Fletcher by Bob Arentz, Episode 271 is adapted from True Detective, V. 43; No. 2, June 1945 and historic newspaper accounts from the archives of the Reno Gazette Journal.
