MARINETTE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s a somber anniversary in Marinette County on Saturday for family and friends, along with law enforcement, of David Schuldes and Ellen Matheys.
Back on July 9, 1976, the 25-year-old Schuldes and his girlfriend Matheys, who was 24, had set up their campsite at McClintock Park in the Town of Silver Cliff.
The couple went out on a walk when Schuldes was shot and killed. His body was found in the park. Authorities say Matheys’s body was discovered in a wooded area outside the park. She had been sexually assaulted, then shot and killed.
The Marinette County Sheriff’s Department says the case is still an open investigation and advances in DNA and technology keep them hopeful in identifying a suspect in the case.
If anyone has any new information, they are encouraged to contact the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office at (715) 732-7607 or Crime Stoppers at (715) 732-7625 or 1-800-427-5857.
