Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, D'Lia Diambra, and the case I'm going to share with you today is

part murder mystery, part history, and part wrongful conviction, depending on whose tale you want to believe.

It happened more than a century ago in Wisconsin's Harrington Beach State Park, which back in 1920 was land formerly owned in mine by the Lakeshore Stone Company.

Limestone was the sought-after resource back then, and the modern-day location of Quarry Lake,

which used to be dry, produced quite a bit of it, between 1900 and 1920. After being mined via

dynamite, the crushed limestone would be transported to distribution centers in cities like South Haven and Milwaukee.

From there, it would be shipped off to wherever it needed to go.

Regular booms were heard coming from the quarry, and those blasts would sometimes send bits of limestone sailing into the air and onto nearby homes that employees resided in.

Eventually, though,

gravel became a more popular and inexpensive alternative to crush stone, so the quarry closed.

The mining company that owned it shut down and more than a hundred mostly foreign workers who were employed by Lakeshore Stone Company were forced to seek new jobs in living arrangements elsewhere.

Today, Quarry Lake is a stunning body of water surrounded by natural rock walls and trees.

But back in 1920, this serene landscape was a crime scene, one that would be talked about for decades to come.

I'm Around noon on Friday, February 6th, 1920, a man named Dominic Manna was walking along some railroad tracks near Belgium, Wisconsin

Stone Company quarry, when he noticed a friend walking up ahead of him. About 10 to 15 feet in front

of him was fellow Italian immigrant and co-worker August Falcinelli.

Depending on which source material you read, August's last name is spelled slightly differently.

Some coverage has it spelled Falcinelli with an A, and others spell it Faultinelli with an O,
