Summary
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of "John Dillinger Slept Here: A Crooks' Tour of Crime and Corruption in St. Paul, 1920-1936."

An interview with Barry Siegel, author of "A Death in White Bear Lake"
Release Date: 11/05/2021
Description: In this episode of the Fugitive Farmer true crime podcast, we're pleased to be joined by esteemed author and journalist Barry Siegel. A former Los Angeles Times reporter, Siegel is the author of eight books, including "A Death in White Bear Lake: The True Chronicle of an All-American Town." The acclaimed true crime book, first published in 1990, tells the heartbreaking story of Dennis Jurgens, an abused young child who died in his White Bear Lake home on Palm Sunday 1965. Dennis, not yet four years old, succumbed to peritonitis, but as the book notes, the "startling" autopsy photos of the boy "suggested murder." Fingers immediately pointed to Lois Jurgens, Dennis' adoptive mother. But it took more than 20 years, and intervention from the boy's birth mother, for justice to be served. In the interview, Siegel discusses the Jurgens case and its impact on White Bear Lake, the "All American City" at the center of the drama. https://www.amazon.com/Death-White-Bear-Lake-All-American-ebook/dp/B075FJWH6Q https://barry-siegel.com/
