FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – A Kenosha man has been sentenced in a drug case while awaiting what will become of his 1990 murder case.
In Fond du Lac County court Tuesday, 62-year-old Dennis Brantner was sentenced to 6 years in prison, 11 years extended supervision and 7 years of probation. Police say they found prescription drugs in Brantner’s boot when he was arrested last year in connection with the murder of Berit Beck.
A jury failed to agree on a verdict during last month’s trial in the Beck murder case. Prosecutors have not decided yet whether to re-file charges.
Beck was driving from her home in Sturtevant to Appleton for a work seminar in 1990 when she disappeared. Her van was found a few days later in Fond du Lac, and her body was later found in a ditch near Waupun.
