Yvonne Menke was heading to warm up her car outside her apartment in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin on December 12, 1985 when she was fatally shot 3 times. While her daughter witnessed a suspect jogging away, there wasn’t enough evidence to tie the main suspect, her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend Mary Jo Lunsmann, to the murder. 38 years later, an arrest was made, and that suspect, now 80 years old, is currently awaiting trial.
