Suspect in Dells Area Murder Arrested
(Wisconsin Radio Network)
After remaining at large for more than a week, the
suspect in a Wisconsin Dells-area murder is in jail. A snow plow driver in
Madison thought the sight of a man being dropped off early Wednesday morning
looked suspicious, so he called police. When officers arrived, they followed
fresh footprints in the snow, leading them to Robert Pulvermacher, who was arrested
without incident. Pulvermacher has been wanted since 88 year-old Howard Johnson
of Portage was found stabbed to death in his vehicle in the parking lot at the
Ho Chunk casino on January 14th. Pulvermacher is awaiting a bail hearing.
