Case narrative
Source text · highlighted
Mark Strandberg returned to his parents’ home in Bloomington the evening of Nov. 9, 1976, after working at a local bowling alley. An intruder broke into the residence later that night. Family members did not hear gunshots or glass breaking during the subsequent altercation, but in the morning the victim’s sister found Mark shot to death in the basement. The victim’s family received an anonymous apology letter in the mail 14 years later confessing to the homicide, which allegedly occurred as an accident during a robbery attempt.
