Investigators Chased Several Leads in Kelly Robinson's Murder, but Answers Elusive in 1984 Case

Sioux Falls Police and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigate multiple suspects including Donald Lundgren in 1984 cold case of Kelly Jean Robinson, whose body was found near Luverne.

  • On May 28, 1984, investigators cast a wide net, interviewing dozens after Kelly Jean Robinson's body was found in rural Rock County, Minn., about 35 minutes from Sioux Falls.
  • Two witnesses reported seeing Robinson leave the Frontier Bar, downtown Sioux Falls, with a white man in a blue two-door car between 5 to 7 p.m. on May 26, 1984, prompting investigators to seek anyone with access to a blue vehicle and a violent history.
  • Donald Arthur Lundgren, 30-year-old car salesman, was repeatedly named to law enforcement, owned a blue 1984 Ford Escort resembling a Ford Torino, and said `I never even met her` on June 26, 1984.
  • The alibi halted that suspect track as law enforcement stopped investigating the suspect, and no charges were filed after investigators hit a major roadblock.
  • This is Part 2 in the investigative series; the case remains unsolved and continues to draw scrutiny, with statements from sex workers informing investigators' suspicions, and Part 3 is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 30.
