MINNESOTA — Harvey Carignan’s reign of terror came to an end in the fall of 1974, when a 19-year-old nursing student survived a near-fatal attack and identified him as her assailant. Within months, investigators connected him to a string of Minnesota crimes. A 17-year-old girl was attacked with a hammer in Mora and left to die. A 13-year-old Duluth girl escaped after a brutal sexual assault. Two other young women turned up dead. Even then, investigators weren’t sure they had found all of his victims.
