People interested in owning something that belonged to Dixon’s jailed former comptroller will get another chance. The U.S. Marshals service will conduct an auction Feb. 23-March 8 of items that didn’t sell in the previous auction of Rita Crundwell’s possessions that ended last week. Sauk Media reports opening bids will be lowered on the nearly 200 items in hopes of attracting buyers. Most are women’s clothing, including western shirts, leather jackets, a fur vest and a fur coat.
Crundwell is serving nearly 20 years in prison for embezzling nearly $54 million over 2 decades from the city of Dixon.
