South Dakota Murders

Some people are downright dangerous. There have been notorious serial killers in South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.

What has been described as the “most awful tragedy” in the city of Sioux Falls occurred on October 22, 1893.

On a fall evening in 1973, five teenagers were attacked by a group of three murderous brothers at South Dakota's Gitchie Manitou State Preserve.

It was almost Halloween in 1893 when Harry Lacey, a prominent businessman, committed what was described as the “most awful tragedy” in Sioux Falls history.
