Details of Disappearance
Gutierrez was last seen in Kenosha, Wisconsin on May 17, 2020. He didn't show up for work on May 18 or 19.

On May 19, police went to his residence in the 3700 block of 15th Street to do a welfare check and found Gutierrez gone. They found both his vehicles in the parking lot.

At his apartment, the patio door was open, furniture had been moved around, an area rug was missing and there was a large amount of blood present. There was blood scattered throughout the apartment's main living area and a large stain, consistent with someone lying there bleeding heavily. In the spot where the area rug was missing, the floor was not bloodstained. Based on analysis of the stains, police concluded there had been a struggle and someone was struck multiple times with an object.

Zachariah J. Anderson was arrested on May 20, three days after Gutierrez's disappearance, and charged with stalking. He is the ex-boyfriend of the woman Gutierrez dated at the time of his disappearance, and was accused of putting a GPS tracker with a voice-activated listening device on her car and spying on her and Gutierrez.

There was electronic evidence indicating Anderson had been in Kenosha, GPS directions to Gutierrez's home on his phone, and a photo on the phone of what appeared to be Gutierrez's auto registration, which had been stolen from Gutierrez's vehicle on April 24. When police searched Anderson's van, they noted some carpet had been cut away and there was a distinct odor of bleach. They found some bloodstains.

In December 2020, Anderson was additionally charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. DNA results from bloodstains in his van showed the blood was Gutierrez's, which is what led to the murder charge. A cadaver dog was brought to the burn pit at Anderson's Mequon, Wisconsin home and the dog alerted on clothing remnants, steel-toed boots and a charred bottle of bleach.

There is also a burn pit at a Saukville, Wisconsin tree farm owned by Anderson's family, and in that pit the cadaver dog alerted on remnants of a shirt that matched the color and pattern of the shirt Gutierrez was last seen wearing. Anderson was spotted on surveillance footage at a Walmart in Saukville on May 18, buying food, two boxes of garbage bags, two boxes of latex gloves and two containers of bleach.

A photo of Anderson is posted with this case summary. He is awaiting trial.

Gutierrez was raised in Wisconsin and studied criminal justice and sociology at the University of Wisconsin. He worked as a contractor and flipped houses, and enjoyed playing baseball and spending time with his two children. Foul play is suspected in his case due to the circumstances involved.

Search for Kenosha man's remains; mom pleads for help from hunters

Rosalio Gutierrez was last seen in May 2020, but investigators are yet to find his body.

For Patterson, there is no true rest until she knows where her son's body is.

"He was a momma’s boy, true and true, he made no qualms about it, even if they would tell him, oh 'you’re just a momma’s boy’, he would say, ‘so?’" she said. "He was just very loving. He was a very good son. And I miss him every day."

Investigators believe they've found some answers. Zachariah Anderson, the man charged in Gutierrez's death, is set to face trial in 2023. But despite searches in spots connected to Anderson, including Random Lake, they have yet to find a body.

[...]

The mother is asking others to stay as vigilant as she is, pleading with hunters this fall to watch for signs of her son's remains.

"I plead to them, as a mother, to keep your eyes open," said Patterson. "I strongly feel Ozaukee and Sheboygan (counties), I have a feeling my son is up there."

These attorneys bickering is driving me insane.

Yeah, that's what I came to web sleuths. I was hoping to get some kind of understanding of what the heck is going on. I mean, I won't say I'm some trial watcher expert, but I've seen at least two dozen or so and I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. I have never seen lawyers bicker for HOURS about hearsay. Did that really happen today? OMG.

I can't imagine how the jury feels about it because they have to keep leaving, and the money this must be costing. Wow.
 
I can see why the Defense does not want this witness - former jail cell mate - to testify about what he was allegedly told about the alleged drug deals and history of the defendant. The Judge rightly pointed out the plea bargain the witness took and that he could be seen as having numerous motivating factors to “come up with something” since his testimony is part of that package.

It’s been very interesting to see the State try to argue this isn’t “other bad acts” (not normally permitted under the Rules), then pivot to it could be other bad acts but that it falls under an exception, even though these do not relate at all to the current murder charges.

I think the State’s arguments about wanting to just “bolster the credibility” of this witness have been pretty weak and the Judge bent over backwards allowing them to go home and research cases to bring back for argument this morning. The Defense saying this is clearly a big part of their case seems correct, since they’re arguing so much about it. Makes a lot of the rest of their case seem weak “what else could they have?” if they need this jail mate testimony about defendant’s prior bad acts with drug dealing activities THIS badly? I don’t know.
