Repudiated 'Hired Killer' Death Story Arises in Minnesota
Ramsey County Attorney William B. Randall ordered a full investigation into last year's murder for hire claim tied to Carol Thompson. The confessed killer Dick W. C. Anderson now says the daylight burglary killed the St Paul heiress, not a hired plot, while Thompson and Norman Mastrian remain imprisoned for first degree murder. Randall will compare handwriting, probe a possible conspiracy among Anderson Mastrian and Thompson, and may seek to reopen trials with defense urging action.
