More of a sympathetic confessor than a callous interrogator, Michael works to tease out Marie’s motives even as his community and the world question his entanglement with the case. Infuriating an ambitious district attorney, the police, and national news reporters, Marie chooses to tell her slippery, shifting, and allegedly supernatural story solely to Michael. Ultimately unknowable Marie-cast as something of a femme fatale in contrast to Michael’s bland, Everyman foil-doesn’t deny her involvement but won’t identify her much-mythologized accomplice. Then blood-drenched 15-year-old Marie Catherine Hale is discovered at the scene of the Carlson triple homicide in Michael’s hometown. The body count so far is 12 blood-drained corpses found across the Midwest. A “nobody from nowhere” gets the scoop of a lifetime.Ī paperboy and aspiring journalist in 1959 Black Deer Falls, Minnesota, 17-year-old Michael Jensen’s heard about the previous summer’s killings known as the Bloodless Murders or Dracula Murders.
