Dorothy Eggers murder by husband Arthur, Is He Still In Jail At San Quentin Prison
A murderous husband is put to death.
For killing his wife Dorothy, Arthur Eggers, was sentenced to death in San Quentin Prison because of her alleged promiscuity. He was put to death there today. He probably would have been able to get away with the crime if the police had not had a few lucky breaks.
Hikers found the body of a woman in the San Bernardino Mountains in California in January 1946. She was wrapped in a blanket. The head and hands had been cut off, making it hard to figure out who the person was. The body had been there for less than a day, so there was still hope.
It turns out that Dorothy Eggers had been reported missing by her husband at the same time that the body was found. Investigators decided to follow the lead, even though the first report said she was thinner and taller than the body. Detectives found out that Eggers had been treated for a bunion on her foot, which was the same as the one on her body.
The detectives knew who the body was, but they didn't have any evidence to link Arthur Eggers to the crime. They also had a lot of reason to be suspicious of him. It was only when Eggers sold his car to a cop that the cop noticed that there were spots of dried blood in the trunk. In 1946, Eggers was arrested. There were pieces of his wife's flesh, a gun, and a handsaw in Eggers' house when they did another search. Pieces of tissue, bone, and fat were found on the saw that was being used to cut wood.
