Attempted entry at Catholic school

Two fourth-graders reported seeing the person, who was thwarted by a locked door, before 2 p.m. The individual fled and was gone before police arrived. Bloomer, located about 20 miles south of Chetek, is in the Diocese of La Crosse.

Cold case reopened
MADISON (CNA) – Fr. Alfred Kunz was a 67-year-old parish priest at St. Michael’s church in the rural town of Dane. He recorded radio shows and was known for his love of the traditional Latin Mass, serving as a parish priest for 31 years. On March 4, 1998, Fr. Kunz was found dead in a pool of blood with a slit across his throat inside St. Michael’s school. The killer was never found. In an effort to revive Fr. Kunz’s cold case 20 years later, the local police department is launching a social media campaign to see if there is any new information on who killed the priest. William Yallaly, chancellor of the Diocese of Madison, told CNA that the sheriff’s office initiated the investigation, but the diocese is in full support.
