At around 6:20 a.m. on a cold December morning in 1985, deputies received a frantic 911 call from a young girl in rural Wisconsin. The caller—Julie—told dispatchers her mother hadn’t come back inside after stepping out to start her car. When first responders arrived, they had no idea they were about to walk into a mystery that would haunt the town for nearly forty years. In the stairwell of the family home lay Julie’s mother, a 45-year-old woman who had been shot three times with a small-caliber weapon, two of the bullets fired execution-style. Her killer had vanished. The victim was remembered as a kind, quiet, and gentle soul—deeply devoted to her children and known for avoiding conflict. So who could have wanted to harm someone like her? #interrogation #interrogationpsychology
