Who Killed Laura Law??

Who Killed Laura Law?? This case is unsolved and continues to be highly debated. Not necessarily because of the gruesome act that took place or all the suspects involved, but because of what this eventually representative on a grander scale.
The year was 1940 and civil tensions between unions and the men in the C-Suites were HIGH. Richard Law, an outspoken union leader in his community had made many enemies with his loud antics and left-winged progressive views. On January 5th, his wife, Laura was brutally attacked and murdered in their home in Aberdeen, Washington.
Was this attack because of Dick's actions? Was it the communists? Was it the right-winged troublemakers? Was the investigation botched on purpose? We may never have these lingering questions answered, but one thing is for sure. Each side of aisle used Laura's death as propaganda to further their agenda on the local and national level.
This case painted a historical picture of the divide in the United States in the 1940's. Although unsolved, there is a lot to learn from what unfolded and what will forever be known as the "Who Killed Laura Law?" case.
Enjoy! And HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE!
