I don't think the Wilde and Chuprevich cases are connected. The women disappeared five years apart, they were a decade apart in age, not the same race, etc. Furthermore, one of Chuprevich's relatives seems to be the prime suspect in her case, whereas it seems like the police think Wilde's boyfriend was involved in her case. Unless the boyfriend is also Chuprevich's stepson-in-law I don't see where the similaries come in. The only common factors are missing women, the state of Wisconsin and the way their cars were both found abandoned at bar parking lots.
Anyone able to connect (Karl W.) McLeod with the Morrison area or southeastern Brown County is asked to call the Brown Sheriff’s Department at (920) 448-4226, Sanborn said.
Investigators are trying to establish if McLeod had connections to people or property in that area.

Greenleaf, WI is 5.7 miles west of Morrison, WI. Online address records show a Gilbert G. McLeod lived in Greenleaf, WI. I don't know the exact street address where Gilbert G. McLeod lived in Greenleaf, but if the BCSD were to find out and interview the neighbors maybe they could determine whether Karl McLeod also lived at that residence. That residence could also be where both women were taken. Who knows what evidence could be found there? Wilde's remains possibly?
Chuprevich’s remains were found near County Rd ZZ & County Rd N which is located near Copperstown Swamp just east of Morrison, WI.
That's a connection establishing that McLeod had connections to people or property in that area.
They also show him as having lived at 133 S. Fisk St., Green Bay, WI and 212 Woodlawn Ave., Green Bay, WI. Those are also the same previous addresses of Karl W. McLeod and links the fact that they both lived together at one time. I don't know what their family ties are.
That's a connection showing they knew each other.
Both women's vehicles were found at local taverns. One didn't go to bars and the other was recently in an accident and had a bad headache and likely wasn't in the mood to drink.
"Authorities found her car a week after she vanished in the parking lot of a sports bar near Lambeau Field. Her purse was in the trunk, and the keys were in the ignition with the driver's seat rolled back - too far, they say, for Wilde to have been able to reach the pedals."
Online address records show that Gilbert G. McLeod also once lived at 1378 Suburban Ave., Green Bay, WI, which is several blocks from the unnamed tavern parking lot on the south side of Lombardi Access Rd by Lambeau Field where Wilde's car was found.
This is another connection showing that Gilbert and/or Karl McLeod could have parked Wilde's car at the bar and walked the several blocks home.
"Areerat Chuprevich’s Jeep Liberty was found April 28, 2003 locked and parked in the lot of St. Michael’s Pub on Riverside Drive in Allouez, a few blocks from the Mariner Motel where she lived with her husband. Described as a quiet, hardworking woman trying to learn English, Chuprevich didn’t frequent bars."
There are too many coincidences to ignore and pass off as unrelated. Ages and races of victims don't really matter to rapists and killers. Killer rapists can go for decades before they are caught, so 5-6 years between the two cases are irrelevant.
The only difference in the two cases were that the keys and purse were left in Wilde's car but were missing from Chuprevich's car. That doesn't necessarily make the cases unrelated to each other.
The Wilde and Chuprevich home addresses were only 4 miles from each other on the same side of town.
