Fugitive Danish Swindler Linked to Chicago Murder Tale
Danish fugitive Jens Hensen allegedly swindled creditors out of $40,000 then fled to America adopting the name Peter Hougaard. He and his wife Amy allegedly killed seven members of their family before committing suicide. Letters found suggest they planned their deaths and the Danish vice consul was involved in seeking funds for Hensen. A Chicago agent, Charles J. Hopsing, corroborates the Danish fraud and later reports indicate authorities recovered some funds and pursued restitution. Reactions from Danish consul Andrew Peterson and other officials confirm ongoing scrutiny of Hensen’s case.
