DODGE COUNTY (WITI) -- The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating a reported late 1960’s death of an inmate from the Waupun State Prison.
According to a press release, the investigation was prompted after the Dodge County Sheriff's Office received a complaint of a possible suspicious death of an inmate. At this time, officials do not have a name for the reported victim.
Sheriff Ninmann states “The Wisconsin Department of Corrections is cooperating with our investigation and is providing all of the necessary documentation dating back to the 1960’s so that the lead detective can fully investigate this complaint. We are taking this complaint seriously until it is proven else-wise.”
The investigators are reviewing the documentation and will be utilizing all available investigative techniques to continue with this investigation.
This is an on-going law enforcement investigation. Further information will be reviewed for release as it develops.
