Father Son Admit Murder at Arnolds Park
An elderly father and his son confessed to first degree murder in the slaying of 68 year old Robert W. Raebel and the beating of his wife at their Okoboji home last December 16. Identified as Philip K. Heiney 71 and Wikia H. Tein 45, they were jailed in Polk County as State Agent Sam Kelly and officials traced the robbery motive, with less than $200 taken. The pair, arrested in Quincy Illinois, allegedly shot Raebel, who was found on the back porch, and beat Mrs Raebel as she knelt beside him. State officials call the case a thorough investigation with rapid confessions.
