1951 - Brunswick, Maine.\n\nPolice heard the woman\u2019s screams before they even reached the door.\xa0\n\nThey were responding to a late night break-in at the apartment of 56-year-old Lancelot Cooper, a prominent figure in the community. When they stepped inside, they found his wife, 45-year-old Eva Cooper, nude on the living room floor with a scarf over her head and her hands bound behind her back. Inside the bedroom, they found a bloody and violent scene.\xa0\n\nIt was clear from the attack that somebody wanted Lance dead, and as the details of that frigid January night became clearer to police, an obvious suspect emerged into focus.\xa0\n\nEpisode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/lancelot-cooper\n\nSupport the show: https://www.murdershetold.com/support\n\nVisit the Pejepscot History Center: https://pejepscothistorical.org\n\n\n\nInstagram: @murdershetoldpodcast\n\n\n\nTikTok: @murdershetold\n\n\n\nFacebook: /mstpodcast\n\n\n\nWebsite: murdershetold.com\n\n\n-----\n\nSponsors:\n\nOneSkin: Get 15% off your order at\xa0at https://www.oneskin.co with the code SHETOLD\xa0\n\nBetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/shetold\nLearn more about your ad choices.
