Details of Disappearance

Kenneth Plaisted, a lawyer from New Holstein, went missing from the Milwaukee area on November 16, 1971. Kenneth had a business meeting in Milwaukee and planned to meet with his daughter around noon, and was supposed to pick his wife up from shopping later in the afternoon.

Plaisted had a cup of coffee in a Plankinton Building diner with a friend of his then got up and left, saying he was going to get his daughter. He never arrived at her apartment.

When the family looked at the car, the glove box was rummaged and open, the keys were gone and Kenneths hat was on the curb.

Plaisted was embezzling from one of his clients but his family does not believe he'd abandon them to avoid prosecution. Another of Plaisted's clients escaped from prison that very day and some believe he took his revenge. He is a Navy veteran and has six children. He was declared legally dead in 1979.

Details of Disappearance

Victoria Prokopovitz was last seen at her residence on the 5100 block of Kunesh Road in Pittsfield. She left behind her purse with all contents to include her ID as well as her cell phone. She has no known credit cards. She has no vehicle. 

After obstructing the investigation and complaining about it, James Prokopovitz was discovered to have had a girlfriend Kathryn Friday while still married to Victoria. Friday pleaded no contest to perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, and obstruction. In November of that year, just before her sentencing, Friday died by suicide. James was convicted of Victoria's murder and faces a sentence of life in prison. Charley Project tracks the case and developments beginning to end. The family would like to recover her remains, and James will not tell his family where she is - he still claims he is innocent. However multiple people, including James, had mentioned he had access to sludge piles which would dissolve a person.

Details of Disappearance

What happened to Jovanny is terrible and I have to warn you may be too much for those with sensitive hearts to handle.

Without too many details, four people beat him nearly to death, made him strip naked and pushed him in the Milwaukee River repeatedly until he died. The rest you can read in the articles or other sites provided.
