On October 26, 2007, a good samaritan called the Savage, Minnesota police department to report a purse found in a trash can in Warren Butler Park. Inside, police found a phone number and a driver’s license belonging to a woman named Katherine Ann Olson, but Katherine was nowhere to be found. A subsequent search of a heavily wooded area near where the purse was found led detectives to an abandoned car…where the body of Katherine Olson was found in the trunk.
