Not surprised RE: pond draining. I’m also wondering if they’ve checked McCarthy Park because CH mentions “Sun Prairie” and that’s a pretty remote and unfinished area in that municipality.

Also I think it’s worth mentioning on here that last night around 8pm I saw 3-4 Town of Windsor LE vehicles going down 151 and turning on 1st Street near East High School - aka nowhere near their jurisdiction. Based off what I’ve seen with regards to case players’ property records and locations that LE has released, no player that’s been mentioned either in the criminal complaint or on the news has a residence or owns property near that area. The complaint says CM lives on the east side, but I’m fairly certain she would be further east than 151 & 1st given what the property records connected to Earlwyn imply.

Because of the large law enforcement presence, we would ask the public to avoid the area.

The Sheriff’s Office will need to close Oak Springs Circle to through traffic. Residents will be able to get to and from their homes.

CH’s girlfriend. There were multiple mentions in the criminal complaint of her living on the east side of Madison. These LE vehicles were almost in the Tenney-Lapham neighborhood which borders downtown, and that wouldn’t strictly be considered east side unless you’re past East HS.

ETA its definitely debatable if that particular neighborhood is considered east side and as a lifelong west sider I have no horse in that race lmao

Can someone put these in the media thread? Especially the pond image?

I used to live in that neighborhood (near James Madison Park), and it was considered "east side" in those days.

How close to Lake Mendota did those LE vehicles go?

Not close at all from what I saw, I was taking 151 up to Baldwin and they were headed closer to the Fordem/Sherman area. I’d say the lake was 6-8 blocks from where they’d turned and Sherman and Packers both head away from the lake. Theoretically they could be going back to Windsor but most of the roads they’d be taking in that area lead near Cherokee Marsh and the Yahara River… FWIW East attendance area vs LaFollette if you know area high schools.
 
Was the girlfriend a recent girlfriend? I'd like to know what she has to say. <modsnip>What was going on in this young man's life that made him butcher his parents?

CM is a current girlfriend. It hasn’t been said how long they have been together, but BH’s remains were found on her mother’s girlfriend’s (CL) property.

Watch now: Authorities drain pond in connection with Windsor woman's disappearance, her husband's murder
Video and photos at link. Possible paywall.
Authorities on Thursday began draining the pond behind the Windsor home of a man accused in the killing of his father and suspected in the disappearance of his mother after a cadaver dog indicated the possible presence of human remains at the site.

Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett said after the Madison police K-9 team took a dog onto the water, it "showed some particular behavior that leads us to believe there may or may not be some evidentiary items" in the area.
