WI WI - The Capital City Murders - UNSOLVED

[meowy]

It looks like it's a teacher's schedule.

These people have gone missing during summer break, spring break (April is spring break right?), Christmas break, Thanksgiving break.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Could someone post the schedules for breaks for UW and the related UW campuses to compare?

That's the academic calendar starting this year and looking ahead several others. I can't find any from before, but I'm guessing they're probably about the same.

Student enrollment affects the University funding, which would explain why this has all been closemouthed.

Faculty and Staff should be mentioned. Also, campus police have access to student ID and confidential info.

The spaces in dates can be that the women were held over a period of time. Would make sense for the gaps.

Defintely disturbing findings guys!

Here is a two hour drive within range of Milwaukee, WI. The markers are not representative of the missing women, but only in place to mark the areas within the two hours.

I will do another one from Madison, WI where I believe this perp resides later this evening.

agreed!

We need to add Amber Wilde missing Sept. 23, 1998. http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/mpccn/wilde_amber.html
Amber Wilde attended the University of Wisconsin-Washington County after graduating from Campbellsport High School. She was last seen in Green Bay, where she had transferred to the local University of Wisconsin campus and where her car eventually showed up in the parking lot of a Green Bay sports bar.

While looking for links for Amber, I ran across another one! Areerat Chuprevich from Allouez, Wisconsin missing 4/26/03. http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/mpccn/chuprevich_areerat.html
At the time she vanished she was enrolled in St. Norbert's College's English as a Second Language program and also pursuing a degree in business administration.

Dawn Mohn missing 8/21/2000 last seen walking home from a bar about 2:00a.m. in GreenBay.

One of these articles states "that the disappearance of these women are being chalked up to coincedence!"

good article

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Wasn't this mentioned in Mahalia's case recently? Lambeau Field?

 

[BrowneyedEmily]

The guy I talked to before sent me another email:

"Yeah, i live in the area where Hackl lived. Next town over actually. They convicted Kim Brown for another murder that occurred in the area in 1987. They also think he murdered another woman they found in the area that year. Hackl, many believe, was murdered by a Sauk City police officer, and that there was a cover-up. They had no solid evidence against Volbrecht, and the cop was known to frequent the area around the bar where she was last seen."


**Also, there's a guy who lives in WI who's familiar with the case trying to register for the board, but said he was rejected. Is there any way he can get in?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

PM one of the Mods and ask for help. : )

Any input would be appreciated. I hope he gets in soon!

You having any luck with the mods?

 

[BrowneyedEmily]

Yep! Thanks guys. He got in using his AOL account and said he'd try to drop by soon.

We can remove Francine Tate from our list now! She was found alive and well today in northern Michigan.

Looks great, thanks! Here is the information you need for Julie Hall and Debra Bennett.
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/unsolved/madison_wi/2.html They are considered part of the original Mad City Murders.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

We can remove Mahalia Xiong after they do the autopsy and give a COD. It does look to be an accident, but they need to confirm it.

Rest in peace, Mahalia. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I got in touch with someone else about Angela Hackl, and if her information is right, it's very interesting:

"I have read and reread everything I could find on this case--and to be honest this is one of the hardest cases to find stuff on. My parents were good friends with her parents. I was real young when this happened. I just remember everyone always saying Terry didn't do it. So as I got older I tried finding stuff on it. Everyone thought (thinks) a Thomas Perschy an Ex Sauk County cop did it. She was shot with a police issued gun and hung with chains and police issued handcuffs. I guess Terry and Prschy had a few run ins b4. The only thing that I found in the newspaper was that Terry had had sex with her that night. But none of the times matched up. Thomas Perschy was suppose to have seen Angie drop Terry off in town during the time a farmer thought he heard gun shots and heard a car take off. B4 searching Angie's car they didn't lock it up like they should have. I just honestly feel he didn't do it. I can't believe they gave someone life in prison with such little to go on. Plz let me know what you found."

 

[SeriouslySearching]

After reading up on a couple of other cases here, I think a 'rush to judgement' was possibly made, too. Even though juries found sufficient evidence, it was quite circumstantial and based on what happened prior to the murders with time between left for another perp to have actually acted in both cases. In my mind, this leaves reasonable doubt worthy of looking at these cases again and again. (Which is how I found one case...a journalism class goes over it periodically.)

We do need to take a good look at Angela Hackl's case as it could hold many secrets it sounds like. Great job, Emily! I would be interested to hear more about the excop angle there.

More on Inez Musch, Sue McFadden, Barbara Blackstone, Linda Nachreiner:


Is there a serial killer on the loose in south-central Wisconsin?
The April 26 death of Inez Musch, a young UW-Baraboo/Sauk County Center coed found in a wooded area near the campus, has stirred up that question onceagain.Musch, 19, is the fifth young woman to die mysteriously in the past five years, all within a 15-mile radius.
