- A 71-year-old St. Cloud woman identified convicted serial killer Harvey Carignan as her assailant in a September 1974 attack, providing her first interview to Forum News Service since the assault.
- From ages 12 to 19, Carignan was institutionalized at the Mandan State Industrial School, a facility for juvenile offenders where he remained for nearly seven years during critical developmental years.
- During the September 1974 assault, Carignan abducted the nursing student from a Sears parking lot, drove her to a remote area, and struck her in the back of the head with a hammer.
- The survivor's identification linked Carignan to other hammer attacks and connected him to the 1973 murder of Kathleen Miller and the 1972 murder of Laura Leslie Brock in Washington.
