Carl Muggli noted for carving and erecting three totem poles at Kensington Gardens has murdered his wife. Muggli dropped a 2,900 pound piece of wood he and his wife were carving for a totem on her.

What got Muggli busted? Facebook and his plans to murder his wife for his mistress.

Photographs of The Lady Diana Memorial Grounds and an Indian Village? This is where the totems were erected.
 
Neighbors not surprised at charges. Are they ever?

Linda Muggli was well liked and a wonderful woman. She and Carl Muggli ran a gift shop and petting zoo along with their totem business in Minnesota.

This article has the piece of wood at 700 pounds. Linda was murdered in December and an investigation ensued. Oh and Carl Muggli was not a good egg in his past according to someone interviewed here.

RIP talented and beautiful Linda Muggli.
 
For crying out loud. Twenty years together, quiet life, cozy home, seemingly successful business. What the heck happened? Faulty wiring? How sad.

First article says it was to move to Texas with his mistress (and quotes their nauseating e-mail exchanges). It is the Daily Mail, however, so take it with a grain of salt.

What an awful way to go! Seems like it was a slow, excruciating death for her, poor lady.
 
From February 2013:

Only Carl Muggli knows what he was thinking when his wife lay dying with her head and chest pinned under the totem pole the couple was crafting at their Ray, Minn., home.

And only Muggli knows what he was thinking Monday when he declined to say anything to the court before being sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence under state guidelines...

When pleading to the lesser charge, he admitted that he did nothing to help his wife during the incident and admitted that the two were in a heated argument about his Internet romance with an Alabama woman at the time of the incident.
