LAKE TOMAHAWK, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Michael Hirn, one of the men convicted for the 1992 murder of paperworker Tom Monfils, has been released from prison.
Dept. of Corrections records show he was released from the McNaughton Correctional Center today.
Hirn, along with Keith Kutska, Rey Moore, Michael Johnson, Dale Basten, and Mike Piaskowski were convicted in 1995 of killing Monfils and dumping his body in a pulp vat at the then-James River paper mill.
All have denied any involvement in his death.
Piaskowski’s conviction was overturned by a federal judge. Basten was paroled due to deteriorating mental health and later died.
Kutska, Johnson and Moore remain behind bars.
