On the morning of July 21, 1999, between 5 and 6 am, a Raymond resident out for an early walk noticed some rumpled clothing alongside a cornfield on 92nd St. between 6 and 7 Mile roads in the rural area of Raymond, Wisconsin. Getting closer, he realized that it was a body and alerted police.

The victim was a white female approximately 17-25, about 5’8”-173 cm and 120-125 lbs.- 54-57 Kg. She had light brown/hazel eyes, wavy or curly brown hair with sun highlights.

She had a poor dentition, several teeth missing or decayed, and protruding front teeth.

Her ears were double pierced. According to the autopsy report she had no scar or tattoos and was possibly cognitively disabled.

When found the young woman was wearing a long-sleeved man’s silver gray country western shirt with pearl snap buttons, cuffs and red flowers with white and green foliage embroidered on the chest and on the back (pictured left) and men’s black sweat pants.

Her autopsy was performed at the Milwaukee Medical Examiner’s Office.

The victim had been tortured for up to 4 weeks before her death.

She had been burned on more than 25% of her body: head, face, neck arms and upper torso. The burns were in various stages of healing.

She had been severely beaten, possibly with a blunt instrument. Her left ear was deformed as a result of the beating. She had received blunt force injury to the head, chest, abdomen, wrists, hands and fingers. Her nose was broken.

The woman was also cut on the head and on her body, was sexually assaulted and starved.

The abuse apparently escalated in the last three to five days before her body was discovered.

She had many untreated open wounds who participated to her death.

Her cause of death was multiple homicidal injuries.

Her body was buried on October 27, 1999, in a donated grave at Holy Family Cemetery in Caledonia, Racine County, Wisconsin. Nearly 50 people touched by her fate attended her funerals who took place at the Draeger-Langendorf Home in Racine.
