Elderly Woman Arrested on Theft, Forgery, Fraud Charges: "A woman accused three times of murder in the past 30 years has been arrested on suspicion of theft, forgery, fraud and computer tampering, authorities said.
Marjorie Congdon Hagen, 74, was taken into custody Thursday night at a Tucson assisted-living home and was booked into the Pima County jail on a $250,000 bond.
Tucson police declined Friday to discuss what led to the charges, citing the ongoing investigation.
Hagen was arrested in 1977 in connection with the slaying of her mother and her mother's nurse in Duluth, Minn., according to court records.
She was acquitted but was arrested again in 1984 when she burned down her house in Mound, Minn. She was convicted of arson and insurance fraud and sentenced to 21 months in prison.
In 1990, Hagen and her husband moved to Ajo, Ariz. One year later, authorities said Marjorie Hagen used a kerosene-soaked rag to try to burn down a neighbor's home. She was convicted of attempted arson, and the judge allowed her to go home before reporting to prison to make arrangements for her 84-year-old husband.
The day after she was convicted, Wally Hagen was found dead of a pill overdose."
