In 1922, a bizarre and disturbing crime shook the Mabel area of Fillmore County. Former marshal Arch Gordon discovered that several of his cows had been poisoned after eating ears of corn that had been hollowed out and filled with Paris green — a deadly poison commonly used at the time as an insecticide.
As rumors spread through the community, bloodhounds were brought in from Waterloo, Iowa, and investigators followed a trail of threats, grudges, and suspicious evidence. Before long, local man Dave Coonradt found himself at the center of one of southeastern Minnesota’s strangest criminal investigations.
In this episode of Roots & Riddles, we explore the shocking cattle poisoning case that horrified rural Minnesota, the newspaper coverage that fueled public outrage, and the revenge-driven mystery that still feels stranger than fiction more than a century later.
