Is live feed working for you guys? It's not for me.

This courthouse is right down the road from where I grew up. This case just literally and figuratively "hit close to home."

BREAKING: "New charges expected Tuesday against ex-officer in suitcase bodies case" http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/new-charges-expected-tuesday-against-ex-officer-in-suitcase-bodies-case-b99323921z1-269845101.html

I got the 7 hour DVD myself via Open Records request, haven't had a chance to check it out yet. If anyone on here really wants to check it out and would like to pool research resources on it, ping me via message and I can make a copy of the DVD for you.

FYI: "New documents: Personnel files on Steven Zelich released by Mequon PD contain surprising reviews" http://fox6now.com/2014/07/24/new-documents-personnel-files-on-steven-zelich-released-by-mequon-pd-contain-surprising-reviews/

There is hard evidence? Really? Where'd you hear anything so definitive?

Did you search around? If so, find any discussion at all?

Wouldn't there be evidence of death if she died in the suitcase, though? Or perhaps in the car he was driving?

Where's this citation from? Troubling stuff, for sure.

Anyone have guesses as to when/if charges will be filed in MN anywhere and/or in Kenosha County? I've still seen very little coverage of what happened and at what hotel it happened in Kenosha but that one story that discussed ownership changes of the hotel.

WTMJ-4 says they're live-streaming it. But it might be over already? https://twitter.com/tmj4/status/489834944240566273

Yes, that is key. Also, I've heard she was in northern California, according to her foster mom. Have you all heard/seen something different? I plan on looking into how and why she got from CA to WI much more closely. If anyone wants to collaborate in some digging with me, shoot me a private message.

Do you guys think there's a chance she was a Zelich victim? Racine's very close to Milwaukee/West Allis, just north of Kenosha. How would one go about ever figuring that out given her name isn't even available?

That is another important stone to unturn. There are so many in this case!!! I really don't think the FBI -- sorry to sound the pessimist alarm -- is going to pour the resources it takes into this case to unturn these stones. I know local law enforcement agencies won't either.

That could be obtained under Public Records Act, most likely. Good call. Marquette is private, so not there, but perhaps UW-Milwaukee. I might put in a request.

Right. I mean, who would submit to what he wanted voluntarily anyway to that level of extremity? Am I wrong to say almost no one? Anyway, that's what I'm digging into now. It's a hypothesis that's informed by some facts so far but definitely needs more to tie it all together.

I never hypothesized he was a john, I am saying he may have done some buying (meaning he lost money from this) to get the slaves he wanted. Again, just a hypothesis largely based on that Missing Persons of America article, which I am in touch w/ the woman who wrote it about. She told me she got...

I think the "sell me" part is important. Still have a hunch he was involved in some way in human-trafficking and not just strictly consensual BDSM activity.
