A State Senator's Unsolved Murder

When State Senator Warren Hooper is gunned down in 1945 after a snowstorm, his murder will take twists and turns that lead to dead-ends, conspiracies, and cover-ups.

Tucked away at the Bentley Historical Library are boxes that look like a murder case file. That's because they are the archived papers of the detective in charge of investigating the 1945 killing of Michigan State Senator Warren Hooper.  There are witness statements, memos, case notes, photographs, and much more.

So with all that material, how could this still be an unsolved cold case? 
 
The answer is complicated...and a conspiracy, depending on who you believe.

Get ready to dive into Michigan's coldest case, which starts with murder on a cold, snowy morning in 1945 and ends with boxes in the archive – some of those boxes still potentially holding clues.
