Scope and Contents Note

From the Collection:

This collection consists of photographs, press releases, articles, and wanted posters of Rodney Adam Coronado, all related to the arson attack at the Mink Research Farm at Michigan State University. Most of the photographs show the aftermath of the damage at Anthony Hall and the mink barn that took place on February 28, 1992. Since McCandless was the MSU lead investigator for the mink case, he was sent to investigate similar arson cases to help track down who was behind the attacks. Included are photographs of Rodney Coronado’s storage locker that he rented in Talent, Oregon and the aftermath of the arson of the Malecky Mink Ranch in Yamhill, Oregon that happened on December 21, 1991. There are also photographs of bagged and tagged evidence and an unknown storage shed. Along with the photographs, there are wanted posters of Rodney Adam Coronado with personal information redacted.
