On Monday, January 14th, 2019 at about 11:17 am, a Town of Delton resident called the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office to report a missing family member that had last been seen the previous afternoon at their residence.

The missing person was located deceased in his vehicle shortly after 1:00 pm Monday in the parking lot behind the Ho-Chunk Casino and Convention Center, located at S3214 CTH BD in the Township of Delton.

Subsequent investigation revealed that the death was suspicious in nature and a request for assistance was made to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, State Crime Lab to process the scene.

At this time, the death is being investigated as a Homicide. An autopsy to determine the exact cause of death is scheduled for later today. The identity of the victim is being withheld pending relative notifications and further investigation.

He is currently on community supervision with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, and an apprehension request, which is essentially an administrative arrest warrant, through that agency, has been issued for his arrest.
