Andersen admits to affair with victim
Taped phone conversations provide more links to murdered sister-in-law

"HENNEPIN – Clifford A. Andersen Jr. and the sister-in-law he’s accused of killing were having an affair, according to phone conversations he had with his wife, Diane, after his arrest.

“There’s two or three things they got on me,” Andersen told her.

Thursday was the final day of testimony in Andersen’s first-degree murder trial in Putnam County Court. ...

Diane Andersen was the last person to testify.

She said although she knew about multiple high-interest loans he had taken out, she was unaware that her husband gambled.

“I wanted to ignore it. I didn’t want to know,” she said.

The prosecution has presented testimony that Andersen had financial problems, and that Dewey may have given him a large amount of money over the past several years.

She said Andersen regularly withdrew about $5,000 a month, and added that although she knew he liked to pay for things in cash, she didn’t know what he did with the money...."

Aside from an occasional faint smile and shake of his head, murder defendant Clifford Andersen has shown no discernible emotion during closing arguments.

No mistrial for Andersen — but it was close
Judge won’t let disputed witness testify

  • Jul 17, 2018 Updated Jul 19, 2018

"HENNEPIN — There will be no mistrial in the Clifford Andersen murder case — but it looks now as if the judge and attorneys had a close shave Monday.

Just before lunch, prosecutor Bill Elward notified Judge Stephen Kouri the state planned to call a Veterans Affairs social worker who assisted Andersen while in Bureau County Jail. During the visit, he said, Andersen said something that could link him to the death of sister-in-law Deborah Dewey.

What Andersen signed, the judge decided, didn’t quite cut it.

Kouri said the consent form allowed for Andersen’s relatives to receive information about his medical care and in no way consented to his conversation with the social worker to be relayed to any other parties.

“You’re inviting reversible error on appeal,” a visibly angry Kouri exclaimed. “I’m not going to entertain that.”

Kouri did not declare a mistrial; but it was discussed at length around the chaotic lunch brea..."

Jurors find Clifford Andersen guilty of murder, concealment

"HENNEPIN — Guilty of murder and concealment of a homicidal death.

That was the verdict delivered against Clifford Andersen of Standard at about 4:20 p.m. Friday after jurors deliberated for approximately four hours.
After the verdict by a jury of nine men and three women, defense attorney Drew Parker said he thought the decision could go either way but that there was not definitive evidence linking his client to the crime.

"We felt very comfortable that our DNA evidence was strong. Of course, the family is disappointed," Parker said of Andersen's wife, Diane, and son, Nathan. "We are disappointed."

Putnam County state’s attorney Christina Mennie said "I'm obviously very pleased by the jury's verdict. It's been a long two years. The last two months, we've worked every day, weekends, preparing. In the end, it's about Deborah Dewey. She deserves justice and she got it today."..."

Victim’s family responds

Murder victim Deborah Dewey’s family read the following prepared statement after the verdict was announced:

“My name is Sue Marshall, and I am Deb’s oldest niece. I will be making a statement on behalf of Chris and the rest of Debbie’s family and will be taking no other questions. This verdict has been a long time coming and provides some closure for us. We are happy that justice has been served for Debbie. It is important that we tell you that Diane lied when she told the jury we didn’t get along with Debbie and we made fun of her. When we found out that she went missing many of us left work to go looking for her. We would like to thank the prosecution; Bill, Claire and Christina for their hard work on this. We would also like to thank the Illinois State Police especially Mike Galletti, Brian Lewis, Lt. Jeff Padilla and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. Thank you all for the time you spent on this case.”

Clifford Andersen gets ‘the max’ of 65 years in Putnam County murder

Aug 23, 2018

"HENNEPIN — Two years and a day after Deborah Dewey’s death, Clifford Andersen Jr. of Standard got the maximum sentence for beating his sister-in-law to death and burying her in a shallow grave.

Andersen, 68, was sentenced Thursday to 60 years in prison for murdering the 62-year-old Ladd woman and five more for concealing her homicidal death.

“This was a brutal murder,” Circuit Judge Stephen Kouri observed during the sentencing hearing in Putnam County Circuit Court. “It’s hard to have a range of murders (on more or less brutal). They’re all brutal. But this one’s at the top.”...

Andersen wants to appeal, but that will be handled by the appellate defender, who was appointed to the case Thursday. A cousin of Andersen who has paid “virtually all of his fees” will no longer be doing so, Parker told Kouri, so he and son Rob were allowed to withdraw from the case."
