Miss Anna Slamcarski, age 53, was reported missing on Aug 13, 1974 near Mauston, Wisconsin, and her body was found Aug 19, 1974. Her body was decomposing and partially nude. Most of her clothing was scattered on the ground. They considered she may have been sexually molested and the state crime lab reviewed evidence. However, on the same day that other papers reported her being found, the 8/21/74 Stevens Point Journal reports that the crime lab already concluded there was no foul play?, and the article goes on to say there were no traumatic injuries but additional tests would be made.

Found in a wooded area half a mile from her mobile home, in Lemonweir Township in Juneau County, five or six miles from Mauston. Her relatives in Indiana is who reported her missing. The coroner said she sometimes walked through the wooded area when returning to her home, but there was no path in the area she was found. (Wausau Daily Herald 8/21/1974)

Source: 8/21/1974 The Reporter newspaper Fond du Lac - this article also considers a connection to a Leona Gilgann's murder in Green Lake

Source: 9/10/1974 Green Bay Press Gazette states that Juneau County Sheriff James Sweeney announced plan for further investigation, despite the crime lab finding that Anna died from a brain tumor.

Source: 10/2/1974 LaCrosse Tribune - Because of numerous scratches and bruises on her body, there had been some question as to the cause of her death.
 
I gathered that her family from Indiana reported her missing so she may well have been actually missing for longer. I just don’t see how a partially nude body, scratched and bruised, off trail, in the woods, ISN’T foul play. Where they said she used to walk back to her home through the woods…..walk back from where? In looking through Indiana newspapers, I found that her family name was also spelled Lancarski, as often as Lamcarski. I wonder if that’s Polish, because Mauston has quite a bit of Polish heritage in the area.
