Kill Brother, Kill Sister

On September 30, 1976, a vehicle explosion rocked downtown Anchorage. When the dust settled, Muriel Pfeil was trapped in the driver’s seat. Dead.

Her brother immediately blamed Neil Mackay, Muriel’s estranged ex-husband — a multi-millionaire lawyer and real estate mogul. Robert Pfeil knew the motive: Mackay wanted custody of the couple’s only child, three year old Scotty.
