Murder on Elm Street: A True-Life Crime Story with Author Jeremy Luberts

Thanksgiving Day, 2012 in Little Falls, Minnesota, two teenage cousins break into a residence on Elm Street, and a true-life horror story unfolds. Little do they know that the retired homeowner has set a sinister trap to catch whoever was burgling his home.

 

More than twenty-four hours after the two teenagers lose their lives, detective Jeremy Luberts responds to a suspicious activity complaint at that same Elm Street residence, beginning a case that will forever alter his life and embroil his community and the nation in a debate over just how far people can go to protect themselves in their own homes. Lubert has described his work and experiences on the case in a book titled “Murder on Elm Street: A True-Life Crime Story.” Hear about Luberts’ experience and the journey of writing his debut novel, at Freeborn County Historical Museum (FCHM) at 7 p.m. on January 18. AJ’s Book Hideaway at 705 Marshall Street in Albert Lea will have copies available in advance, and will also be selling copies at the FCHM event: Detective Luberts has scheduled time to sign books.
