Marianne Bachmeier

It was the 5th Monday of the month, which is a week I usually take off. Except when I don't. I decided to cover a really interesting case that's shorter than usual so I guess I took a half-week off.

In 1981, a 35 year old man was arrested for killing Anna Bachmeier, a bubbly 7 year old who went missing on the way to a friend’s house. Though he confessed, he went to trial and what happened at his trial made international news and led to 40 years of debate.
