Genetic genealogy advances 'Wolf River Joanne Doe' case | Exclusive

The decades-old effort to identify a woman whose skull was found at the bottom of the Wolf River in Winneconne has taken a step forward through investigative genetic genealogy . Investigators believe the woman's grandmother was Mary Jane Connor, who represents the closest familial connection they have established to "Wolf River Joanne Doe." "It's statistically probable that she's the grandmother," Lt. Chris Braman of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office told The Post-Crescent, "but we don't know what sex her child was who would be the parent of our victim." Braman said the probability stems from genealogy-based DNA testing recently completed in Northern Ireland. The sheriff's office is publicizing the development in the hope that someone may have Mary Jane Connor in their family tree and would be willing to submit DNA for testing to help solve the mystery of "Joanne," which has baffled investigators for 41 years. "We're like one record away right now," Braman said. "If we could figure out who Mary Jane married, I think we would be in really good shape." Who was Mary Jane Connor? Where did she go after 1911? Records show Connor was born on Oct. 14, 1883. Her parents were Owen Connor and

These Crab Cakes Are Giving Wisconsin Seafood Lovers A Reason To Return

Crab cakes sit on the same appetizer list as homemade sauerkraut balls and a Bavarian Scotch egg. That lineup alone tells you this kitchen enjoys a little friendly chaos. The building dates back to 1948, and one family kept the lights on starting in 1967. I love it when a place carries that much history without acting stuffy about it.

Rockland couple fights annexation into De Pere | Exclusive

In Rockland, at the edge of De Pere, Triston and Kate Winiecki settled their life. Triston, a veteran and school behavioral interventionist, and Kate, a social worker, found their house on a drive down Ryan Road. They wrote a letter to the owners, who hadn’t listed it for sale, and bought it in 2021. They said they took out several hundred thousand dollars in loans to rid it of mold and turn it into a home. They had a kid together. And out back, past the Concord grapevines and beehives, they got married. When Rockland agreed in August to merge with Greenleaf to keep the area’s rural character and stave off further annexations into De Pere, the Winieckis welcomed it. They believed the agreement would keep the land around them undeveloped, and the quiet life they moved to Rockland for would stay intact. A certified letter then arrived for Triston on Sept. 11. The letter said Howard Frankenthal, owner of several hundred acres in Rockland, wished to annex the Winieckis’ property into De Pere. “I’m like, ‘How is this legal?’” Triston said in an interview with the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “And it is legal, but it’s not right.” Land disputes

Manitowoc school levy will cost about $1,316 on a $200,000 home

MANITOWOC – School board members approved a property tax levy of $31.4 million to help pay for the Manitowoc Public School District ’s 2026-27 budget. That’s an increase of 6.14% over the 2025-26 spending document. School district officials attribute the increase to a smaller-than-anticipated payment from the state. The board approved an equalized tax rate of $6.58 per $1,000 of equalized property value. Nov. 3 election results: Here's what Tuesday's election results mean for Manitowoc County This means the owner of a home valued at $200,000 could expect to pay about $1,316 for the school district portion of the property tax bill. This is not the amount property owners will see on their individual tax bills, which will use assessed value for the town, village or city in which they live. Administrators said the levy is made up of two parts: $30.6 million to support general operations, which include staffing, programming, student services and other day-to-day expenses. About three-fourths of the district’s spending is earmarked to pay teachers, administrators and staff. $739,467 to cover debt payments tied to a voter-approved 2025 capital referendum. Officials said the district received $42 million in state aid, about $102,000 less than anticipated. The district
