Mildred Jenkins Impersonation Ties Waterlooo Murder Probe
Police link Mildred Jenkins, wife of Ed Jenkins, to a Corydon murder case in December. A Waterloo woman identified as Mildred Jenkins is suspected of impersonation while the real Mrs Ed Jenkins is in Lansing Iowa. Letters from Mildred dated December 25 and 29 in Lansing show she appears unaware of the crime. Corydon officials doubt a marriage exists between the couple and seek verification.
