Clara Olson Murder Details Revealed by Doctors
Four pathologists led by Dr. Charles H. Lunting testified Clara Olson was killed by one or more blows struck from the back. They noted fractures around the left ear and skull, and said a single blow of great force likely caused the multiple injuries. The body bore a water soaked letter from Erdman Olson, urging her to flee, found on her remains. The case centers on Erdman Olson, a Crawford county youth who vanished after Clara, both from farm families, disappeared. Investigators sought Erdman’s possible accomplice Albert Severson in Montana as a brother-in-law of Olson’s father.
