The Man Who Strangled Twice: Fairground Murders of 1934

A quiet Midwestern fair turned lethal: a 48-year-old woman was found placed beneath the grandstand with shoes buckled and purse untouched, and a similar strangling a year earlier was left unsolved. What connects Teresa Cox’s carefully arranged body at the Harwick County Fairgrounds to a woman murdered at the Cass County Fair in 1933, and why was the pattern missed?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events on Thursday, August 2, 1934, through the discovery at the fairgrounds and the arrival of law enforcement, outlining who was present, what was found, and the detail that troubled investigators most: nothing taken from the victim’s purse. How did a careful killer leave almost no trace - twice?
Person: Teresa Cox
Age: 48
Date: August 8-9, 1934 (time of death estimated between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM)
Location: Harwick County Fairgrounds, under south grandstand
Case: Linked to unsolved 1933 Cass County Fair strangling of Mildred Oates
- Teresa Cox’s purse contained $31 in cash, loose coins, a powder compact, two handkerchiefs, and a letter from her sister, all undisturbed.
- Ross Stroud took three photographs of Teresa beneath the third section of the south grandstand before seeking help.
- Time between Stroud’s call and Deputy Martin Foss’s arrival at the fairgrounds was forty minutes.
- Dr. Silas Croft recorded a bruising pattern on Teresa’s throat consistent with manual strangulation.
- Todd Roberts, a 42-year-old insurance salesman who worked county fairs and drove a 1931 Ford Model A, worked both the 1933 Cass County Fair and the 1934 Harwick County Fair.
