A collection of 188 pages of newspaper clippings, primarily from the Kansas City Star and Kansas City Times, detailing the crimes perpetrated by Sharon Kinne and the subsequent investigation of those crimes. Kinne was accused of shooting her husband (a death she had blamed on their two-year-old child) after she was suspected and tried--but not found guilty--of killing Patricia Jones, wife of the car salesman from whom Kinne had purchased a vehicle with her late husband's life insurance money and with whom she was romantically involved. Kinne was convicted in 1962 of killing her husband, but the conviction was overturned because of a jury selection error. While free on bond, Kinne traveled to Mexico, killed another man, was found guilty and incarcerated. She escaped from the Mexican prison on December 7, 1969, and has never been found. Each article is annotated with its source and date of publication.
