This timeline is totally bizarre. I remember the news video of the mid-section being pullrd out of the Mississippi.
I grew up in eastern Iowa at that time, I gasped when I saw that there was an arrest in that case.
If this story is true then yes corruption. I found the articles you linked 5 years ago and the story blew my mind. But I know quite a few people in the St Ansgar/ Osage area and claim they haven’t heard anything about it. I even have a friend who’s brother in law worked at the same ethanol plant Adam did and he knew nothing about it. Really weird.Here is Iowas cold case site.

Pretty sure the entire story was written by the wife/mother that some have said isn’t dealing with a full deck so who knows. Altho anyone that has dealt with anything like the story depicts probably has some issues.
Moffit might be a bigger piece of **** then Rick Forsyth. Both were psycho weirdos.The David Moffit Grimes murder of a man while he was in bed while his fiancé slept next to him is a WILD story. One of the craziest Datelines I’ve seen.
Can’t believe there hasn’t been a dateline or in-depth doc on the Ashley Okland murder. You don’t hear anything about it any more.
I agree with a lot of this, but knowing the area and some of the people, I can believe some of the accusations, that doesnt exactly make them true either.
I also agree most people know nothing about any of it, which makes it seem even more like it was swept under the rug. Like absolutely nothing, I dont even know how I originally stumbled on the story, it sure wasnt from the news.
I have always wondered what the truth is about this story. Makes me believe the truth is somewhere in the middle of all of it.
Found a podcast from 2018-19 but the episodes won't load. It was called Keep it on the DL and was mainly Iowa cases. Among them were Iowa State Fair Murders, The Sueppel case like in the photo above, U of Iowa shooting, and triple homicide from Ottumwa, Justin Michael and Crystal Arensdorf

Four Times Iowans Were Featured on 'Forensic Files' [WATCH]

Pretty sure the son died of a drunk driving accident. I think the mom blamed the BAC on him breathing fumes in an ethanol plant or something.
The Adam Lack case is complete and utter ******** that people unfamiliar with how any of this works have bought into hook line and sinker.Here is Iowas cold case site.

You have to accept that an entire fire department, sheriff’s department, and district court judge let a guy die over an argument that didn’t even have major financial consequences. You also have to accept that a vehicle that had its brakes cut went through multiple T intersections, and crossed a state highway without the driver being aware that said brakes were cuts.
If the circumstances surrounding the Lacks deaths resulted in a conspiracy of nearly hundreds of people determined to kill them, rural Iowa would be littered with cases like this.
The Jackie Folkerts case in Britt during the late 90's is a wild one to read up on.
Michelle Martinko; CR Kennedy. In my young years, I met her a couple years prior to her murder. I was past acquainted with a couple of her classmates who ended up as witnesses for the prosecution. Sensationalized case went unsolved for 39 years. She was murdered in Westdale Mall parking lot (brand new mall opened for two weeks).
~Was a miracle the three suspects (brothers) were all still alive and living in eastern Iowa. A relative in Washington state had past submitted dna to Ancestry.com. She never met the three Iowa brothers. The case was featured on 48 hours, Paula Zahn's show, and a couple others.
~ Was unbelievable news when the story of the murderer's arrest broke-a few years ago,
Is that the one where the house was where Chrysler of forest city is now? I remember that growing up.
That was a cursed family. The dad and brother both died in separate fires. Know a person who saw the crime scene, what they told me was unreal.

The Lack deaths leave me with so many questions.
I think to differentiate between crime dramas (Law & Order, etc.) and real cases.
