La Crosse Builds Barriers To Prevent Drunken Drownings

Work began Friday on building gates, rails and chains at three entrances to a levee at the city's Riverside Park, which is two blocks from downtown bars.

Eight college-age men in nine years have disappeared from a city tavern and turned up dead in a river. The town has three colleges and three rivers.

It's good to know that they are starting to address these issues, start with the safety of the highways!

Thanks for the information!

They waited awhile, huh?! Let's lose 8 first before we think of a way to prevent someone from tossing them so easily into the river.

I just ran across this editorial about Greta's show on Monday Evening. When she talked about the possibility of a serial killer being on the loose in Wisconsin.

Thank you for the interesting ariticle! It is important to emphasis that Kelly Nolan's killer remains at large, and prior to that there is substantial facts to verify may unsolved deaths involving college students in the WI area! I'd like to see what the FBI's opinion is on all of this, and what their investigation has turned up, as far as comparing evidence from prior missing persons/murders. If a serial killer isn't involved, then why are so many college kids in a concentrated area dying?

That's right they were drinking!!! Is that the logical explanation? :snooty:

Of course, blame the victims! They probably fell on those knives, stumbled into the guns, set themselves on fire, or like the men..fell into the river accidently because they were drunk.

In Kelly's case, they will probably try to go ahead and charge the Cafe guy because they need a suspect badly. Since they can place him with her as the last known person by his own admission...he makes an excellent target for LE. Now they just have to *cough* find evidence to match his story and they will have this case wrapped right up so not to cause any more anxiety to the public or University plus they have "solved" another one...and expect it to come BEFORE the semester begins. (They won't be looking into the MCM cases as a possibility because those were dead ends and they do not want this associated with them in any way, IMO. I think that would be a huge mistake, however.)

Easy SS.......LMAO Greta knows something is mighty ugly in Wis. since she was raised here. She is thick skinned like Cheko!!! Takes more then that to get her down. I hope she does a follow up show telling Madison about all the deaths & how none of them are solved. Then they can take that all the way to the bank!!! LOL :slap:

So true, Cheko, so true! She has to know about those! Even if she didn't bring them up yet...she needs to check them out. Go Greta Go!

Hmmm...I didn't know anything about these murders in Beloit, WI which is only an hour away from Madison:
Recent Beloit Murder Similar to Unsolved Cases Police say it will be 3 to 4 weeks before they start seeing results on any of the evidence they gave to the state crime lab.

"We're looking for that piece of evidence that might connect it to one case or might connect it to another," Beloit Police Captain Bill Tyler says.

Possible suspect arrested in the Mcguire case in March of '06:

I am not finding if he has gone to trial or any specifics tho. Anyone know?!

 

[KR2tonenow]

Thank you SS, its incredible the amount of violence that is concentrated in that area of WI. Seems like they are dealing with more than one killer though, but the unsolved aspect keeps growing. Doesn't FBI step in at some point and look into repeat crimes?

Hey, Cheko! Greta got your emails! LOL Check out her blog on the subject:

There is one other oddity: Over the past few years, I have received dozens and dozens of e-mails about missing or dead college students — mostly male — along the Wisconsin/Minnesota border. (Madison, where college student Kelly Nolan was murdered, is about 100-plus miles from the border.) Over the years I have done segments on the string of deaths or missing college students in this area. It is weird that there have been so many college student deaths or disappearances in this area, but it could be a coincidence. Many — I get the e-mails from viewers in the area — are suspicious that the college deaths or missing cases are linked and that the authorities won't consider this.

I apologize that I have not had the time to read this thread - I will get to it.

However, I thought of this thread when I read this info -

http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/serialkillers/kimbrown.htm

It's a WI serial killer of women... 1987 or thereabouts...

My apologies if it's already been discussed.

 

[Ang50]

And it has.... on my more refined google search, Websleuths is the first site to pop up... duh...

I'll get updated and perhaps I can actually contribute!!

Now that I've read the thread...

RE: La Crosse drownings -
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43709&highlight=la+crosse+drowning


And an almost drowning -
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34966&highlight=la+crosse+drowning

I have resurrected the thread b/c of the FBI findings. (No foul play).
I would recommend we move to the first thread to avoid diluting/confusing the two discussions...

 

[Ang50]

One thing just occurred to me -

My parents were on campus at La Crosse around 1968, and stayed on as dorm parents until after I was born - roughly 1976.

They say that back then they thought there was a serial killer because people would drown back then as well. Conventional wisdom said a professor...

So the La Crosse stuff would coincide with the Madison slayings. AND - the recent drownings would coincide with the Madison-area deaths... it's a VERY long shot, but interesting...

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmmm..it sure is interesting.

Did you see where the latest FBI statement on the drownings? I will have to find it. It was only a couple of days ago and I meant then to post it here, but I was sidetracked! Sorry!

 

[Ang50]

I posted the FBI articles on the other threads I linked above.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

So we are just up against the murders of the women at this point. The FBI hasn't made a blanket statement about them...have they?

To be honest...they have NO evidence and is the very reason they can make those statements about the drownings. If they DID have any evidence...they would not have said anything. I won't discount the drownings either. The FBI might think of them as nothing...but you can't have that many without the key of them "going swimming drunk and drowning" without me being suspicious. This person hasn't been caught which tells me he has this down to an artform. I do not care what the FBI says...I say they have a problem.
