Murder on the Chippewa: Homicide, Robbery and Lost Loot in 1920s Eau Claire Wisconsin by Scott D. Dyar

Independently Published

Shots barked out on a hot July morning in the City of Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1921. Within 24 hours the city will lose a valued officer and be plunged into one of the largest man hunts the state had seen. Over half a dozen suspects would be brought in with connections varying from Chicago crime rings to local moonshiners. No one would ever be tried for the crimes and the true identity of the man known as the “Car Barn Bandit” and the location of the stolen money now worth over $20,000 remains a mystery.

Follow the action, trace the steps of law enforcement, and develop your own case against the accused as you read this true crime history. “Murder on the Chippewa” results from years of in-depth research and includes maps, images, and other first-hand accounts that will lead you through the crowded events of the early 1920s that forever changed the community of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
