WI WI - Amber Wilde, 19, pregnant, Green Bay, 23 Sept 1998

[PastTense]

According to WBAY, detectives are reviewing information from the case but have released no new details on what was found during the search. According to WBAY, Sarah Thomsen of Action 2 News has covered the case for years. Thomsen was present when investigators were searching the property and stated that there were about 20 detectives from the Green Bay Police Department and State Crime Lab on the scene.

Todd Thomas, Captain of the GBPD, said that they can’t disclose what they were looking for or what information led them there but that this time, science is on their side according to WBAY and the Green Bay Press Gazette.

“There’s been tremendous advances in the technology field as far as collecting evidence… DNA collection, some other forms of evidence collection, so we’re taking advantage of those now,” said Thomas in an interview with WBAY.

According to the Star Tribune, police issued a statement on Thursday, Nov. 6 saying their search had concluded and that no further information would be released.

"Never-ending heartbreak"

http://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/2014/04/29/never-ending-heartbreak/8451803/

Ehnert, who lives in the small community of Colgate northwest of Milwaukee, laments the fact that Wilde is still missing. But she is pleased that the investigation into her disappearance is not at a standstill. Green Bay police are taking a renewed look at the case.

"They seem genuinely driven to get this case solved," Ehnert said. "It's really a good feeling. (Detectives) contacted us about a month ago, and even something simple like that means so much. They really want to do something with this and they are trying hard."

LE identifies possible suspect in case, a MS, who seems to be AW's unborn child's father. Looks like there was a disagreement on terminating the pregnancy.

1998 Wisconsin cold case - Amber Wilde disappearance - reopened as murder

The Associated Press is not naming the man because he has not been charged. The documents, filed a year ago, include a subpoena and affidavit for his cellphone records. The documents also classify the case as a first degree intentional homicide investigation; it had previously been considered a missing persons case.

Investigators previously indicated they believed foul play was involved, but this is the first time they’ve made that statement in legal documents that have been public.

“We were surprised:” Missing person case in Wisconsin now being investigated as murder

it appears the police see the father of Amber's unborn child as a person of interest.

I'm still a newb so..

Can we sleuth MS, since he is now a POI?

 

[miamaia]

This seems pretty clear to me:

"Matt Schneider. He's been our primary person that we've focused on for pretty much the entire time," explains Kingston.

ETA: Finally found a link to the unsealed court document.

Attached here as images in case the links go down.

ETA (and save space )

Interesting quote from this doc:

I am seeking records…described as follows:

…

*All call record and sms/mms text message detail to include date, time and length of calls for outbound and inbound calls/text messages…for the time period of January 1, 2014 until present date…”

…

I believe that the records described…above…constitute evidence of the crime(s) of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide…

This is fascinating to me. So the POI has apparently done or said something since January 2014 that has incriminated him!

 

[0101ABA]

Yes, although some media outlets aren't naming MS since he hasn't been charged, he is most definitely been labeled as the POI!!

 

[miamaia]

Thank you Kay!!

According to articles, MS was a construction worker of sorts at the time of Amber's disappearance, and now lives in West Bend, WI.

Here is a company called XCOV8 (excovate) owned by a MS in West Bend.

I also find it very interesting that, from the above docs, MS's wife (who seems to also be the fiance from 1998) is currently in jail and contradicted statements he and a friend made.

HS also informed affiant that Matt and their friend [redacted] had known each other prior to the summer/fall of 1998 and that both of them have had continued personal contact since that time. This information is contrary to information provided to affiant by [redacted] in which [redacted] stated that he "barely knew" Matt Schneider.

Public records from Wisconsin Circuit Courts

Several MSs come up in the search, but I pulled the following cases using names and addresses that I can link to this MS.

• 2015 Tax Warrants
  
• 2014 Operating While Suspended (4th+)
  
• 2014 Operating While Suspended (3rd)
  
• 2012 Eviction
  
• 2010 Appeal on 2003 Undisclosed Felony
  
• 2010 Foreclosure
  
• 2010 Civil Judgment 1 (XCOV8 mentioned)
  
• 2010 Civil Judgment 2 (XCOV8 mentioned)
  
• 2009 Civil Judgment Against XCOV8 et al

ETA: I did smile seeing all the legal and financial trouble MS et al has had. This is only what's public, so I'm sure there's more. Karma?

Another person of interest named in Amber Wilde disappearance

http://wbay.com/2016/08/18/exclusive-another-person-of-interest-named-in-amber-wilde-disappearance/

In those documents, investigators named their main person of interest, Matthew Schneider, the father of Wilde’s unborn child. They pointed to that pregnancy, unwanted by Schneider, as a possible motive for murder.

These new documents reveal Schneider’s close friend and “constant companion” is also labeled a person of interest in this case.

In a 12-page subpoena, Green Bay police detectives ask for cell phone records for Nick Petit. According to the documents, police asked for the records in 2014 when new detectives were assigned to the case. The subpoena remained sealed until recently.

“We know that Nick was Matt’s closest friend, and if Matt confided in anyone, it may have been to him,” Kingston says, “and we know that they were together a lot of the time, and we know that they both have different stories of where they were over the timeframe of her disappearance. So until those questions are answered, I guess he has to remain a person of interest.”

Green Bay Police Det. David Graf said no arrests are imminent. Information opened to the public this summer may seem new and make it feel like police are learning a great deal of new information, but Graf said, “Remember, that’s all at least two years old.”

He declined to say what, if anything, was revealed in the search warrants.

The investigation is continuing to plug along, making headway, but “not enough to convince the DA to bring charges,” Graf said. “We are still investigating as best as we can. We’ve reached some obstacles, because some individuals have refused to talk with us.”

Schneider stopped talking to police 18 years ago, and Petit stopped talking more recently, he said. Both men have refused to take polygraph tests, he said.

Also:

Petit, who was living near Wausau, told police his girlfriend possibly had seen Wilde in her silver Subaru in Wausau. Petit gave a detailed description of Wilde’s car. Police today say they had given out no description of her car at that time and have no idea how Petit or his girlfriend would have known what kind of car Wilde drove.

I would like to see prsecutors charge Matt Schneider, with or without a body.
It seems that all it takes to get away with murder in this country is to bury a body deep enough or in a random enough spot for it never to be found. That needs to change.

The persons of interest named in the documents: Schneider, Matthew John 12-1962 dob. There's a lot of Matthew Schneider's out there. This is the correct one. It always helps to have the DOB and full name of the POI's so that others with a similar name aren't mistaken for them.

Previous or current addresses:
Rib Lake, WI (Taylor County)
Hartford, WI (Washington County)
West Bend, WI (Washington County)
Schneider, Heidi L was referenced on page 5 of the public documents.

Petit, Nick Matthew, also named in the documents. 09-29-1977 dob
Previous/current addresses:
Kronenwetter, WI, (Marathon County) (near Wausau, WI)
Mosinee, WI (Marathon County) (near Wausau, WI)
Hayward, WI (Sawyer County)
His girlfriend at the time, Sara Buserow, now Sara Petit, his girlfriend and now his wife, is also named in the document and news article.

Petit, who was living near Wausau, told police his girlfriend possibly had seen Wilde in her silver Subaru in Wausau. Petit gave a detailed description of Wilde’s car. Police today say they had given out no description of her car at that time and have no idea how Petit or his girlfriend would have known what kind of car Wilde drove.

Petit's Bar and Grill, Winter, WI (Sawyer County) and Nick Petit are both named in a civil judgement on WCCA open records:

Tears for Amber Wilde's family! It is a damn shame the POI's won't give up information to bring Amber home! Murdered because she did not want her unborn child is cold and callous. She wanted to be a pediatrician. . . These 2 creeps took so much from Amber's family. It would be so nice if somebody could do the right thing in Amber's case. It is horrible that Amber's family has no peace after all these years. They also lost a grandchild. l will never understand like the 2 in Amber's case.

I made a reference to Nick M. Petit at the Kayla Berg forum. Post #310. He, at one time, lived at the same Wausau address of someone related to a POI in the Kayla Berg case. He also lived down the road from that same address. Though it's slim, there may be a chance he could also be involved. I also Google mapped his former addresses and a current one.

What? Another coincidence?

And while the police are at it, maybe they could check into Nick M. Petit. According to Rehold,

https://rehold.com/Wausau+WI/LAZY+ACRE+RD/214

Nick M. Petit lived at the same address as Alfredo B. Merreo, Miguel Merrero’s uncle, 214 Lazy Acre Rd., Wausau, WI 54401

As you know, Nick M. Petit was named as one of the suspects in the murder of Amber Wilde. Whether he lived at that address at the same time as Merrero needs to be checked out.

Amber Wilde investigation: FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit reviewing case, offering help

http://wbay.com/2017/02/23/amber-wilde-investigation-fbis-behavioral-analysis-unit-reviewing-case-offering-help/

A new team of experts, trained to solve complex, sensitive crimes, is now helping in the investigation surrounding the disappearance and apparent murder of Amber Wilde.

This month, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, or BAU, reviewed Amber Wilde’s case.

“It was very helpful. We’re still working on things they suggested,” says Green Bay Police Detective Lee Kingston.

The detectives agree their case is mostly circumstantial since Amber’s body has never been found, but the BAU is giving them new avenues to explore, though they can’t say exactly what.

The BAU agents look at cases from a different perspective, analyzing behavior, motivations, and the why.

They can also look at it from a prosecutor’s perspective.

“What can we do to help the district attorney make a better, more informed decision in the future?” says Graf.

Amber Wilde's case currently featured on Crime Watch Daily show.

https://crimewatchdaily.com/2017/04...oad-map-to-amber-wildes-disappearance-murder/

DOES SECRET DIARY REVEAL ROAD MAP TO AMBER WILDE'S DISAPPEARANCE, MURDER?

...

"We've pretty much ruled it a homicide. There's nothing that we can find or have been able to find that she went missing on her own," said Kingston.

So who would want to hurt Amber?

Then police get their biggest clue from Amber Wilde, in her own written words.

Cops find her personal diary. And there in black and white cops find the words that spell out a possible motive: "I'm pregnant."

...

Amber did tell [the baby's father] about the pregnancy, and says [the father, Matt] Schneider was not happy about it.

...

"Matt basically was giving her ultimatums or threatening to either harm himself or that she'd never see the kid again, and he made these type of statements," said Det. Graf.

...

"I think the biggest thing was he didn't want his fiancée to know because he didn't want that relationship to end," said Det. Kingston.

...

"She did tell Matt's fiancée that she was pregnant with Matt's baby and she also wrote a letter to Matt's mother," said Kingston.

...

"He denied to the initial detectives ever having a sexual relationship with Amber," said Kingston.

...

Schneider's fiancée tells cops Amber had an almost fatal attraction to Matthew, and was making it all up.

...

Crime Watch Daily has also confirmed a doctor performed an ultrasound and determined Amber was about four and a half months along at the time of her disappearance.

...

Matt Schneider maintains he did not have sex with Amber and the baby was not his. If that's true, and he only talked to Amber a couple of times, cops want to know how Schneider can explain a key piece of the mystery: his phone records.

"Between the time period they first met to the time period she went missing, from phone records and other statements, maybe around 60 times for sure," said Det. Graf. "There clearly was a back-and-forth going on documented very well through phone records and a diary that Amber kept."

...

"Most of the conversations, to our knowledge, were about Amber being pregnant, and then once she was missing, there was never phone contact since," said Det. Graf.

Police are now saying those phone records constitute evidence of first-degree intentional homicide.

...

Crime Watch Daily has discovered newly unsealed court documents that name Matthew Schneider as a prime suspect in Amber's disappearance. Search warrants also reveal police have conducted multiple digs along Highway 29 and a massive search on the Schneider family farm, all in an effort to find Amber's body.

Police say Schneider has never offered an alibi for his whereabouts on Sept. 23, 1998, the day Amber went missing, and he's declined to take a polygraph test. And now he's refusing to speak to cops.

...

If you know anything about the day Amber Wilde disappeared or where she might be, contact Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers at (920) 432-7867, or submit a tip to the FBI.
