WI WI - The Capital City Murders - UNSOLVED

[SeriouslySearching]

Another thing I noticed are the months the girls went missing. Altho, there were a few during fall and winter...the majority of them were commited in the spring and mid-summer.

The similarities I found in all the cases: Females, 17-24yo, 6+ had left bar area in Madison, most found in wooded areas, all with ties to UW, except 2...all found within 14 miles of Madison. 5 happened in early July and 5 in late spring. Out of all of those, 4 had been stabbed, no cod on 3, 1 blunt instrument,1 burned. Sarah was shot, but found near Mineral Point Road.

For me its the fact that the girls were out for the evening & vanished into thin air. Most found around the Madison area in a wooded area.

Deidre Harm (Wis Rapids) had also been to a bar vanished without a trace to be found by hunters out in the woods decomposed.

Similar to Janet M. Raasch - deerhunters found her.

Yes the same way!

 

[BrowneyedEmily]

Yes the same way!

And Shirley Stewart, the youngest victim. Susan LeMahieu was found 150 yards from a parking lot in the woods. Julie Speerschneider along the Yahara river, I'm assuming near/in woods. Debra Bennett was in a gully.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Don't forget Angela Drake...found in a drainage ditch. (I realize they convicted Michael DeSalvo, but I am not convinced he is actually the perp.)

Another mention of a rape/murder in 1987 upon leaving a Saulk City tavern named Angela Faye Hackl. She was 19. (This is 27.6 miles/35 mins. from Madison.)

Another brutal assault/rape mentioned in 2004 plus an incident where a woman was slashed multiple times outside UWs Trip-Adams residence hall, but survived in '93. Her assailant was never found.:

Let's try to find out more about the girls listed above and see if we can provide more links to their cases.

 

[BrowneyedEmily]

I haven't been able to find anything on Inez Musch, except a scholarship established in her name. Which I find odd that there's nothing about her.

This is interesting - references Angela Hackl at the beginning, then goes into other crimes, two of which were solved.

On "Realization" in Everyday Life: The Forecasting of Bad News as a Social Relation
Douglas W. Maynard
American Sociological Review, Vol. 61, No. 1 (Feb., 1996), pp. 109-131
doi:10.2307/2096409
This article consists of 23 page(s).

"A rural Sauk City man told the Angela Hackl murder trial jury Friday he heard three shots fired in the wooded area near his home and a noisy car leave the area a short time later the night the Lone Rock teen was brutally slain 27 months ago. Robert Wagner, who lives near the Pines, a teenage party area seven miles west of Sauk City, testified he did not contact police immediately because he thought the sounds were firecrackers touched off by drinkers in the wooded area. Wagner, a hunter, didn't realize they were shots from a small-caliber pistol until he heard three days later that Hackl's body had been discovered chained to a tree in the Pines."

That's all it talks about the Hackl case in the article - it's really about how people take bad news and how people deliver it. But I'll try to find more from what the article referenced.



The article that the journal article referenced is called "Hackl Case: Man Heard 3 Gunshots", published Sept. 30, 1989 in Capital Times, pages 21-22. They don't have copies online, apparently, though.

I also can't find anything about her. But still looking

As Terry Vollbrecht takes the witness stand today in his own defense, themystery of who killed Angela Fay Hackl seems as deep as ever.

Testifying Monday, both a Sauk-Prairie cop and a Vollbrecht relative lent credence to key parts of Vollbrecht's alibi. But other details remain shaky.The seven-woman, seven-man jury has already heard the defendant's explanation of his actions - but they have not heard directly from what the prosecuting attorney has called ``the only witness'' to what happened during the early morning hours of June 12, 1987.


Investigators have twice related answers he gave during long police interviews, and a tape recording of one of the direct interrogations was played in court.


While he isn't expected to alter his alibi, his appearance on the stand isthe highlight thus far of the trial, now in its second week in the small Sauk County courtroom.


Vollbrecht, 28, has admitted he left Hondo's, a downtown Sauk City tavern,with Hackl after she invited him to continue a long night of partying after bar time, about 2 a.m.


He has contended for the past 28 months that the pair went to a nearby marshy area along the Wisconsin River and had consensual sex before she dropped him off at his car near Hondo's about 3:30 a.m.




------

So they convicted this man, who says that he's innocent. He even alleges that a cop may be involved.

------

"I have always been interested in this case. Good article, except Kim Brown didn't kill Angela Hackl. They convicted Terry Vollbrecht for killing her, though a lot of people feel he didn't do it either, including some members of Hackls family. A cop was suspected by many from the start, but we know how that goes..cops stick together. People have come forward to the police with evidence since the crime 19 years ago, but they are always shunned by the authorities. Justice was not served in this case, as the wrong man was convicted. Anyone with info on this case can email me."

[cheko1]

Could that be the missing link to all of these a dirty cop?

 

[BrowneyedEmily]

It's odd, but there is a lot of pressure associated with these deaths, and by this point there have been several, right? I don't know. It's possible, but improbable, in my opinion.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Dirty cop or maybe an out of control Fireman?

They don't stick together on something like this. They threw a cop off the force in my old town for stalking. I remember he was WEIRD! and he lived 2 roads behind me
