Late on a May night in 1930, someone crept into the Golden Pheasant Inn.
The local restaurant was popular for its chicken dish, and for being a haven
where Wisconsinites could blow off steam with slot machines, booze, and sex
workers. But the intruder wasn't there for any of that. He was after owner John
Van Veghel and waitress Lucille Birdsall, a couple sound asleep in their bed.
The subsequent murders shook the small town of Preble, Wisconsin, situated on
the outskirts of Green Bay. Rumors began to fly. But over ninety years later, we
still don't know who killed John and Lucille.
This week, the Murder Sheet interviews Sergeant Mike Knetzger of the Green Bay
Police Department.
