The Strange Case of Lancelot Cooper

1951 - Brunswick, Maine.

Police heard the woman’s screams before they even reached the door. 
They were responding to a late night break-in at the apartment of 56-year-old Lancelot Cooper, a prominent figure in the community. When they stepped inside, they found his wife, 45-year-old Eva Cooper, nude on the living room floor with a scarf over her head and her hands bound behind her back. Inside the bedroom, they found a bloody and violent scene. 
It was clear from the attack that somebody wanted Lance dead, and as the details of that frigid January night became clearer to police, an obvious suspect emerged into focus.
