Hi maryjane,

Where exactly in the Blueberry Ridge area she was found is unknown to me other than it being off Marsh Rd, which runs west and ends right into the Blueberry Ridge area.

A = Blueberry Ridge area
B = Deidre Harm former residence
C = George Rd.

The red line is a common route to and from Wisconsin Rapids to the casino out in Nekoosa.
 
The third person of interest is Ryan Michael Peacock (Caucasian), age 24, born July 1, 1983. He has previously resided with his brothers David, age 41, and Stephen Peacock, age 34, (POI's #1 & #2 can be viewed under the Kelly Nolan thread) in Mt. Horeb, WI & Madison, WI and has lived in Marshfield, WI, Fitchburg, WI and Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Deidre Harm also lived in both Marshfield, WI and in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, which is also Brittany Zimmerman's hometown. Zimmerman was another murder victim found in Madison, WI. Kelly Nolan disappeared from Madison and was found east of Fitchburg, WI in the Town of Dunn, WI.

Since both David and Stephen Peacock are both suspects in the disappearance of Crystal Arensdorf in Dubuque, IA on July 4th, 2001, I thought I'd show that these two people have strong connections with their brother Ryan, who not only lived with David and Stephen near the Nolan and Zimmerman sites, but also could have presumeably visited Ryan in both Wisconsin Rapids or Marshfield (or even lived with him there).

Ryan, as you can see from the map below, lived in close proximity to Deidre Harm in Wisconsin Rapids and in Marshfield, WI and very well could have known Zimmerman and Harm in both Rapids and Marshfield and also Nolan and Zimmerman in Madison and Fitchburg, WI.

There are two other people who LE might want to check out: Sherman L. Taylor (Afro-American) and Jeanette Makurat (Caucasian). They were both involved in a drug crime with Ryan Peacock (see CCAP) some time before Deidre's disappearance. A restraining order was put against a Joy Taylor by Makurat for harrassment. It appears somebody dropped a dime on someone.

Ryan, Jeanette & Sherman also not only lived in the same apartment buildings in Wisconsin Rapids on both Baker Dr & Biron Dr., but, coincidentally (there's that same word again!) they also all lived in Madison, Fitchburg & Marshfield, WI.

Sherman Taylor has an upcoming drug trial in Wausau, WI and Jeanette lives in Wausau according to her Myspace and Facebook account. These two were living together since living in Marshfield. One of her friends on one of those accounts is a Michelle Peacock of Mt. Horeb, WI., another Peacock connection.

I was told by one Wisconsin Rapids resident that the victim was rumored "to have been found in a refrigerator". Another resident said "the word on the street was that two unknown African-American males took her out there and killed her because she was an informant working with the police after she had gotten busted herself and that she had narced either the African-American males out or one of their friends for drug dealing in Wisconsin Rapids". This individual also stated that "a friend of his lived across from her apartment and that black guys were going in and out all the time. He said he'd heard the refrigerator rumor too." The individual also stated "the reason the cops weren't releasing any of this information was because <snip>". I stress that these are just rumors, not facts.


Also, there have been other unsolved murders in the area that may be linked. In 1996, a Jane Doe's vertebrae and pelvic bone (another found-in-pieces-case) were found at a rest stop in Amherst, WI, Portage County, WI. Janet Raasch, a UW student, was found in the Town of Buena Vista, Portage County (by hunters, of course) in 1986.

With victims and POI's all living in the exact same four or five different towns, it seems there are just too many coincidences and I'm hoping that LE can find some link or check with the victim's families whether they might have known the Peacocks, Taylor or Makurat. I do not know whether Ryan or Stephen Peacock currently live at the last addresses listed on CCAP but David Peacock does have a warrant out for his arrest. If we are dealing with potential serial killers LE might want to start tracking these violent criminals and find out where David Peacock is hiding out at.

Note below that Ryan Peacock was in Rapids around the time of Harm's disappearance but filed a change of address sometime after that but returned to Rapids and got busted fishing without a license by Barry Meister. I think he lived in Rapids long enough to know where Blueberry Ridge was located. (I'm uncertain whether Harm was found on Blueberry Ridge off Marsh Rd, or, an area just off Blue Ridge Rd and Marsh Rd. Both places are near each other).

tw, thanks for this info and map (and all the other data you've provided).....I need to catch up on this thread before I can think about all this....

You're welcome.

Ryan Peacock below lists his address as 2444 Chalet Gardens Ct., Apt 4, Madison, WI.

Another just-solved murder in Madison is the July, 2007 murder of Kevin K. Cobbins. He lived just down the block at 2233 Chalet Gardens Rd # 4, Madison, WI. Must be a bad neighborhood.

Murder suspect James P. Bohanan, a fugitive since the July shooting death of Kevin K. Cobbins, a Waunakee man, on Madison's West Side, was arrested May 12 in Chicago. No relationship between the two murders, just thought I'd throw it in there. :)
 
Is there anyone from Wisconsin Rapids who might know whether the person pictured below was acquainted with Deidre Harm? Does anyone recognize whether he was seen with Deidre the night she disappeared or whether he was seen at her apartment?

A good friend of his, Sherman L. Taylor, d.o.b. 10-05-1969, Afro-American, with an address listed as 480 1st Avenue S., Wisconsin Rapids, WI, is currently in custody in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. I presently don't have his photograph, but if anyone recognizes his name as a friend or acquaintance of Deidre's, could you post that info here?

Ryan's former addresses in Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield were:

1830 Baker Drive Apt. C, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 08-18-2003

1461 S Biron Dr Apt 1, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 01-10-2006

203A 9TH ST MARSHFIELD, WI 5-2006

Also, can anyone identify the gang sign that he is flashing? GD, maybe?

Ryan and Michelle Peacock and unidentified white male
 
I watch this case closely and there really haven't been any new leads. :( I think a couple months ago I saw on her memorial MySpace page that her friends maintain a media link. The news link claimed that the police were following leads from multiple "persons of interest" who had approached them after a memorial bike ride they had in Deidre's honor. I have not heard anything else, and there were no other details in that article.

Wisconsin Rapids Tribune By Karen Madden • Daily Tribune Staff • March 23, 2009

The Wood County Sheriff's Department took Michael B. Buchanan, 39, Spencer, into custody late Friday, Sheriff Thomas Reichert said. Investigators expect Buchanan, who remained in the Wood County Jail on Sunday, to be charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child with the use of a dangerous weapon.

"One of the things I'm most happy about is someone who was responsible for a terrible act such as this is being brought to justice," Reichert said. "The victim in the case and her family certainly deserve that. I hope they can get some peace of mind out of this action."

In June 1990, an 11-year-old girl reported she was abducted at knifepoint from the west side of Wisconsin Rapids, Reichert said. She told authorities she was taken to an unknown location, sexually assaulted, then left in rural Cranmoor.

A subsequent investigation substantiated the abduction and assault, Reichert said. However, an extensive search and investigation resulted in no arrests.

In early 2008, the Wood County Sheriff's Department requested a DNA analysis of case evidence that was not possible in the early 1990s, Reichert said. The request was made after investigators conducted a review of pending cold cases to determine which ones were likely candidates for such testing.

"The analysis indicated the culpability of Michael Buchanan," Reichert said.

Reichert said Sunday that Buchanan is a suspect in Wood County cold cases other than the sexual assault case for which he was arrested. However, he declined to specify which cases.

According to Gannett Wisconsin Media archives, in October 1991, Sheriff's Department investigators served a search warrant on Buchanan, who at the time lived in Pittsville, to collect head and pubic hair samples to compare with evidence in the 1990 homicide of Stephanie VanDenBerg. Her family reported her missing Oct. 17, 1990, after she failed to return to her Pittsville home Oct. 16.

VanDenBerg's body was found in Clark County's Sherwood Lake on May 24, 1991. At the time, investigators said they believed sex to be a motive in the death.

Evidence collected from Buchanan was tested against evidence recovered from the lake during the course of the investigation.

Buchanan was taken into custody by the Spencer Police Department on Friday and subsequently transferred to Wood County authorities, Reichert said. The Clark County Sheriff's Department, Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation and Spencer Police Department also were involved in the investigation after the DNA evidence was returned.

Here they are next to each other. It would be interesting to know whether Revak has those type of tattoos.

Also, True Crime Report states:

http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/08/did_christopher_revak_murder_d.php

True Crime Report: Authorities in Douglas County, MO now believe Revak was a serial killer. He may have killed as many as 4 women in Missouri and elsewhere.

More at link...

BTW, I called the Wisconsin Rapids PD two days after the Revak story broke to ask them to compare Revak and the Deidre Harm POI with each other. They stated they definitely would look into it.
 
Someone stating they are the editor of the Ozark Sentinel (small town newspaper) has commented on my blog post and they say Revak is indeed a person-of-interest in Deidre Harm's death.
 
510 6th St #2 SE, Mason City, Iowa is a former address of Jennifer Beamish-Revak (now Jennifer Hurt, Revak's ex-wife. That's 1.4 miles from the Key Apartments at 600 N Kentucky Ave, Mason City, IA. In 1995, Jodi Huisentruit was abducted from that location.

I knew him very well, and I have to say, he was not the serial killler type. EVER! He was a good guy, down on his luck a lot, but a good guy.
 
Missouri Sheriff Says Man Who Hanged Himself In Jail Was Serial Killer

An alleged murder suspect who hanged himself in the Douglas County jail last month is a suspected serial killer according to Sheriff Chris DeGase.

Christopher E. Revak was arrested on July 25 after cops got a phone tip telling them that they needed to take a closer look at the man for the March 2007disappearance of Rene Marie Williams. That phone tip led authorities to an undisclosed Douglas County farm where the search for Williams body continues.
