Case Number: 98-12891
3926 Ironwood Ave.
Kensett, Iowa (Worth County)
November 9, 1998

On Wednesday, November 11, 1998, an unnamed family member discovered 81-year-old Mildred Clemenson beaten to death in her rural Kensett, Iowa, mobile home — a home about seven miles west of Kensett and directly attached to the family farmhouse at 3926 Ironwood Ave.,  where Clemenson’s only daughter, Marcia Patton, lived with her husband Ron and the couple’s two children.

An autopsy indicated the elderly woman had been dead for two days and died from a blow to the head with a blunt object.
