On June 15, 1991, Carin Streufert, an 18-year-old Grand Rapids college student, went to Perkins Restaurant with friends. Although it was 2:30 a.m., she elected to walk home alone. After all, this is Grand Rapids, what could possibly happen? As she walked along Pokegama Avenue, just south of the bridge, a car slowed and stopped. It contained two young men. One was James Swanson and the other was Guy Sullivan. Once Carin was in their car, they drove south to rural Aitkin County. There they brutally raped her, shot her in the head and concealed her body in a wooded area.
