The Story of Iva Kroger and Mildred Arneson

By November 1961, the Kroger's have had enough with what they consider harassment. So they head north across the Golden Gate Bridge up 50 miles and they land at a budget motel called the Blue Bonnet in Santa Rosa. They check in under the fake names, Eva and Ralph Long. And this is where Iva Kroger spots an opportunity across the street from the Rose City Motor Court Motel. She comes to believe this motel will be her ticket to financial stability.
