DEAD WATER The Klindt Affair

Softcover. The wife of a prominent chiropractor is missing. A month later a woman's torso is found floating in the Mississippi River. Can a new forensic procedure using genetics prove that the torso and the missing woman are the same person? If so, who killed Joyce Klindt and butchered her with a chain saw? The authors believe they have pieced together a reliable version of the major events as the story unfolded during the years of 1983 and 1984. The State of Iowa versus James B. Klindt was one of the earliest proceedings to introduce genetic evidence. The case set precedent and actually made law. Illus. + Map. 269pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lower cover has bent corner o/w Vg+
