Clarence and Marjorie Paulson (2 of Clubs, Minnesota)
6/3/202636 min
In July 1984, Clarence and Marjorie Paulson, father and daughter, were reported missing from their home in Minnesota. At first glance, sheriff’s deputies didn’t see any obvious signs of a struggle. Marjorie and Clarence didn’t have driver’s licenses, and the three-wheeler Clarence used to travel was still at his house. Marjorie’s purse and knitting needles were left behind. Neighbors didn’t offer much of an explanation about where they’d gone – the two were considered reclusive, but known to travel into town every so often.
But a closer examination of the home revealed more to the story. And six years after reported missing, detectives found the unthinkable.
- Anyone with information about the death of Marjorie and Paulson should call Crime Stoppers of Minnesota: 800-222-8477, or the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tip line is 1-877-996-6222.

Since he got out, bad things keep happening. Cape Fear, a new series is streaming June 5th on Apple TV. Why would I wanna hurt you? Why? Starring Academy Award winner Javier Bardem. [laughs] Why? And Academy Award nominee Amy Adams. He's coming after my family. Why? Why? [screams] Cape Fear, streaming June 5th on Apple TV. Just after opening on a cold Saturday in February, someone entered the Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, and over the course of just about 40 minutes enacted a brutal crime, killing five of the six women inside. Despite a detailed suspect sketch from the survivor, despite the fact that 911 was called while he was still in the store, and despite the fact that police were on the scene within minutes, the killer got away. But when I got into this story, it got so much bigger than I ever thought it could have. The case got so big that I needed help, so I brought in the best investigative journalist I know, Delia D'Ambra. And on her newest season of Counter Clock, she is ready to fill you in on her years-long investigation into the Lane Bryant murders and the suspect that it led her to. Listen to season eight of Counter Clock wherever you get your podcasts.
