Human remains found in Fond du Lac County home of Dane County stalking suspect

On August 14, 2026, detectives from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office assisted Madison
Police Department investigators in serving a search warrant connected to a Madison PD stalking
investigation. The warrant was executed at the suspect’s home in rural Fond du Lac County.
During the search, detectives located books, documents, and memorabilia related to murders and
serial killers, along with skeletal remains — including what appeared to be numerous human
skulls — and other potentially illegally possessed items.
Upon discovery of this additional evidence, which appeared unrelated to the Madison PD
stalking investigation, the Sheriff’s Office obtained a separate search warrant from a Fond du Lac
County Circuit Court judge. Sheriff’s detectives subsequently collected a variety of evidentiary
items, including the human skulls and skeletal remains.
Detectives are working with a forensic anthropologist affiliated with the Wisconsin Crime Lab,
the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Wisconsin Inter-Tribal Repatriation Committee, and
specialized laboratories to determine whether the remains are authentic and whether they are
modern-era remains or archaeological Native American remains.
The forensic anthropologist’s initial physical examination determined that many of the remains
are likely ancient Native American in origin; however, several of the skeletal remains require
specialized forensic testing at a laboratory to determine their origin.
Attached with this release is a copy of the criminal complaint filed in Dane County that outlines
additional details.
This investigation remains active and ongoing. No additional information can be released at this
time in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
