much more at link---
Tilmer Eugene Thompson was a successful St. Paul attorney who was convicted of hiring a hit man in 1963 to kill his 34-year-old wife, Carol Thompson, the mother of their four children, so he could collect more than $1 million in life insurance and be free to carry on an affair with his mistress. The sheer brutality of her slaying in the upper middle class Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul shook the Twin Cities and attracted national attention. He served over 19 years in prison before he was paroled.
