The Bear and the Bird
In this episode of the Murder Sheet, we're going to switch things up a bit.Instead of diving into a single restaurant homicide, we'll split our attention between two remarkable cases. One took place in Chicago in the nineteenth century. The other happened in Harlem in the forties. Rather oddly, despite occurring around six decades apart, both of these killings involved drunken rages, seedy bars, and unusual animals.Follow the Murder Sheet on social media for the latest.FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd send tips and thoughts to murdersheet@gmail.com.

Looking for Roseann Quinn
On New Year's Day in 1973, a woman met a man at a New York City bar called W.M. Tweeds. They hit it off and went back to her place. But the story doesn’t end there. The woman — a 28-year-old teacher named Roseanne Quinn — was never seen alive again. At least, not by anyone other than her killer. In a way, Roseanne Quinn has died many deaths. First, at the hands of a vicious, violent man. And then again and again and again over the years, as journalists, writers, and filmmakers smeared her name and overlooked her humanity for the sake of scaring other women.Here’s a link to the Slate article from Jude Ellison Sady Doyle: (shorturl.at/fjsJW).

The Golden Pheasant Murders
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. Check out Mike's book on the Golden Pheasant murders, and other local cases here (shorturl.at/akFK5). If you have information on this case, send tips to Mike.Knetzger@greenbaywi.gov.
