International News Photos (New York, N.Y.) · May 20, 1948
Olga Dirksen, whose mutilated body was found alongside the mutilated body of her husband, Ralph. Robert H. Hansen, 24-year-old ex-sailor, has confessed to the crimes. Yesterday, Mrs. Lucy Dirksen, Olga's mother-in-law, faced Hansen and told him, "I am sorry for you. May God have mercy on your soul." She attempted unsuccessfully to find a motive for the murder.
