Alright, so my sister (who still lives in Madison) brought this case to my attention and I've been poking at it for a bit. I'm originally from Madison, did live for a few years just down from Good N Loud in the Madison/Middleton area and have some different point of views on this case than the prior posters, I just want to throw out there so others can also help me poke at this case
I DO NOT think this is campus related at all, it is a GOOD distance from Campus and don't let the University Ave address fool you, this is not where hazing would happen they would not navigate all the way out there, this is past the agriculture building, and past the University hospital and up the hill past a high end mall and up past the DMV and...its way out there from the University in UWM terms.
This is not Dahmer, too many reasons to list why, wrong location, wrong interest group of males
As far as it being a person who cross dresses, this is VERY possible, Madison has a VERY HIGH population of LGTBQ and I felt growing up there that it is more accepted than in other places I've lived given the large population.
This music store is not records and tapes and CD's...This music store is drums and trumpets and guitars, nice and pricey Les Paul guitars
My theory is this was a robbery attempt, clothing was a disguise attempt, and possibly someone wanted a nice LesPaul to play in their garage band, OR a roadie packing up after a concert misplaced/damaged/broke the equipment and went to break in to replace it after a concert (since they weren't open) The 2 major concert scenes around Madison: Coliseum 14 minutes (8.7 min) away Headliners 9 min (3.8 miles) away.
Madison concerts (9-1978 to 7-89) are:
AeroSmith 12-12-1987 Coliseum
Blue Oyster Cult 2-2-1988 and 7-17-1989
If your a roadie and you don't show up/are not around when the bus leaves? Do they leave without you? Do they even bother to let anyone know you didn't return after a long night of drinking with the band?????
I will continue to search but any input from fellow Sluthers is appreciated
