Final Curtain Call - Jessie Blodgett

Final Curtain Call - Jessie Blodgett

In Hartford, Wisconsin in 2013 a young woman was murdered in her home.  Jessie Blodgett was a 19 year old woman who had her whole life ahead of her and plans for that life.  She was going to be a music teacher, she had landed the role of The Fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof for a local play group, and had just played opening weekend to a packed house.  Investigators had little to go on at first, and then quickly things started falling into place.  The killer was caught and charged in just 16 days.
