>>Willmar Man Will Not Stand Trial For 1974 Murder

(Willmar, MN) —  Algene Vossen will not stand trial for the 1974 murder of Mae Herman of Willmar.  The 81-year-old from Sioux Falls has been committed to a memory care facility for the rest of his life.  Willmar Police Chief Jim Felt says he had hoped Vossen would be convicted of Herman’s murder, “Certainly is disappointing. We want a resolution for the family. There are still grandchildren and other distant relatives that have lived under this shadow for decades. And we hope that this has given them some closure. I think things have been fairly well proven.”  D-N-A evidence connected Vossen to the scene of Herman’s stabbing death in July 2020.  His attorney says Vossen is no longer able to care for himself.
