- Narrator: And so, we come to perhaps the bloodiest chapter in the long and violent history of the Midwest region. And here, I'm speaking of Luverne, Minnesota, 1979 - commonly referred to by laypeople as the Massacre at Sioux Falls. Readers will know that I've chosen to file this case as a Minnesota crime, even though most of the murders took place in North and then South Dakota. But I believe the key to understanding this complex and nuanced crime is to look at the butcher and small-town beautician at its center. Ed and Peggy Blumsquist were just 29 years old on the night their lives changed forever.
- Narrator: As he killed both friend and foe alike, it became clear that Hanzee was on a mission to find the beautician and her butcher's assistant husband, and silence them once and for all. Again, the question of why has puzzled historians for decades. It's true that they had seen him execute Dodd Gerhardt and that they were the only ones left who could reveal his treachery for what it was. But maybe the reason was deeper.
