BELLEVUE – The Brown County Sheriff’s Department is looking for help with a very cold case.

Detectives are requesting the public’s assistance in locating victims, witnesses, or family members related to two attacks on two teenage girls that occurred on or around the Fall of 1957.

The two young ladies that were attacked were reported to be 16 and 17 years of age at the time of the attack and would be in their late 70’s now.

These attacks were reported to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office in the Fall of 1957.  One attack was believed to have occurred in northwest Brown County, currently near the Suamico Cemetery at Vickery Park in the Village of Suamico and the other in the area of Memorial Drive at Duck Creek in the Village of Howard.

The details surrounding the Suamico attack was that of a 17 year old female who was walking with three other teenagers when she was attacked.

This case was adjudicated in Municipal Court in 1957, which included testimony from a victim and the other teenage witnesses.  All records relating to these attacks have reached their statutorily defined retention period and were purged over 40 years ago.

We are now looking to identify any and all witnesses, victims, or family members involved in these attacks.
