I would love to get my uncle and my grandfathers cold case reopened. Gary and Mike Anderson. They were murdered in mount pleasant Iowa and the men still walk free today due to lack of evidence due to it happening in the 80s
Mike & Gary Anderson were murdered north of Mt. Pleasant. Two were tried but acquitted.
How do you get a cold case opened, if one of the murders got off with a jury, one can be trialed, one turned state evidence and served I think 20 years..it is about the 2 brothers that were shot and killed in their home in Oct. of 1982 …Mt. Pleasant Iowa..Linda K. Kinnison one of the brothers was my daughters dad
