Lincoln to reenact 1923 double slayings in Aurora
Warren J. Lincoln, an Aurora attorney claiming kin to Abraham Lincoln, will be called to reenact the murders of his wife Lina Shoup Lincoln and her brother Byron L. Shoup, slain January 10, 1923, amid alleged confessions and a tangled tale of kidnaping and a dope ring. Authorities say Lincoln confessed killing his wife after she shot her brother, then burning the bodies in a furnace, with later claims of captivity and elaborate fabrication. The case links a long history of domestic troubles and possible further crimes including dismemberment and river disposal, with evidence traced by a green ribbon from Lincoln’s typewriter.
