KIMBALL, Minn. – Nearly 40 years have passed since a central Minnesota Postmaster was killed when a bomb exploded as he sorted packages.
Kimball Postmaster Ivend Holen was killed on May 13, 1976 when a package exploding while he sorted mail.
Forty years, and yet interest in the case… and determination to find the person responsible… has not waned.
