SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT: New Trial in Sauk Co. Rape and Murder Case?

The summer of 1987 was witness to the murders of three local women — all of the slayings reportedly unrelated to each other.

Two of the cases were solved; two different men sentenced to prison. But was one of them wrongly convicted? Or is he indeed a cold-blooded killer who, today, could have a shot at freedom?

In this riverfront village, a closed case still leaves open wounds.
