Lois Jurgens

Her brother, Jerome Zerwas, was the police lieutenant of the town of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, where she lived at the time.

The case is described in detail in Barry Siegel's true-crime novel, A Death in White Bear Lake.

There was a television movie broadcast in 1992 on NBC entitled A Child Lost Forever that told the story from the perspective of Jerry Sherwood (played by Beverly D'Angelo).

There was also talk years earlier of her having started the fire at her in-laws' home which killed her mother-in-law, with whom she never got along.

Lois Jurgens served eight years of her sentence and had a quiet life as a widow in Stillwater, Minnesota.
