As news of [Belle Gunness]'s horrors spread, tens of thousands of people flocked to \"murder farm,\" where authorities put the parts of Gunness's victims on display. [Ray Lamphere] and Gunness traveled to Chicago a few days before the fire to find a body double. They brought back a \"housekeeper,\" and Gunness killed and decapitated her, Lamphere allegedly said. [Andrea Simmons] has another backup plan in case there's a glitch extracting DNA from Gunness's century-old envelopes. She hopes to get DNA from a bone of Nellie Larson, Gunness's sister.

After all, she wanted me killed because I knew too much,\" he told police. They charged him with arson and murder. That might have been the end of the story, had it not been for a visit to the sheriff from Asle Helgelien of South Dakota. Helgelien had read about the fire and came east in search of his brother, [Andrew Helgelein]. Four months earlier, Andrew answered this ad in a Scandinavian newspaper: \"Wanted - a woman who owns a beautifully located and valuable farm in first class condition, wants a good and reliable man as partner in the same.\" Gunness sent back racy letters, saying she would be his if he'd help her pay off the farm's mortgage. \"My heart beats in wild rapture for you, My Andrew. I love you. Come prepared to stay forever.\" With $3,000 in his pocket, Andrew set off for La Porte and was never heard from again. When Asle later contacted his brother's lonely-hearts bride, she said he had gone to Norway. Asle told Indiana police that he feared Andrew had been murdered and Gunness had set the fire to cover up her crime. Police thought the charge ridiculous, until human bones and body parts, hacked into pieces, started turning up in the hog pen and around the grounds. The remains of the missing brother were there, as were those of Jennie Olsen, a foster child who, Gunness told neighbors, had gone \"to California.\" As the tale of the \"Murder Farm\" fanned across the country, investigators were joined by thousands of the curious and the hopeful - friends and families of people who had vanished. There were so many bones that it became clear this unholy business had stretched on for many years, perhaps back to the odd death of [Belle Gunness]'s first husband, Mads Sorenson.

In 1908, Andrew Helgelein had been the latest young Scandinavian to answer [Belle Gunness]'s advertisement for a partner for her farm, arriving in LaPorte from South Dakota in January 1908. He transferred his cash savings to a local bank, and announced that he and Belle would be married. But Andrew disappeared shortly after cashing a check for nearly $3,000 at the First National Bank of LaPorte. By late spring, his brother Asa was searching for him, and found his correspondence with Belle -- and records of his banking transactions. Farmhand Ray Lamphere, arrested for the fire and the murders, vigorously claimed his innocence. With the local sheriff at the time convinced that Belle was simply among Lamphere's victims of foul play that night, [Bruce Johnson] credits a clerk at a LaPorte bank for sparking the multi-murder investigation. The bank clerk -- recalling Asa Helgelein's inquiries into the whereabouts of his missing brother, Belle's most recent vanished suitor -- sent a newspaper clipping describing the tragic house fire and its grisly aftermath to the South Dakota man. Helgelein promptly boarded a train and headed back to LaPorte to urge law enforcement officials to dig more deeply into his brother's disappearance.

At work, [Ray White] is 10 times worse - out to educate his employees, his guests and anyone willing to listen. White considers it a victorious day if he has turned off six or 10 unused lights at his Holiday Inn in Timonium by the time he leaves at night. Lately, [Manley] has been holding off on using central air in his four-bedroom home in Catonsville. If it's not sweltering out, Manley turns on two ceiling fans, two window fans and a couple of oscillators to create a breeze in the house. He has also been working at getting his two boys, who like to fall asleep listening to music, to push the sleep button so the radio automatically shuts off in an hour. That saves 4 watts of electricity. Turning the computer off? Saves 140 to 330 watts. The television? Saves 55 to 90 watts. That light bulb? 75 watts. Using the microwave instead of the oven? It's the difference between using 1,500 watts and 5,000 watts.
