Repinski, Bonnie

Missing Since: August 12, 1975
Missing From: Menasha, Winnebago County

Age: 33 years old

Date of Birth: March 3, 1942
Sex: Female
Race: White
Height and Weight: 5'6, 120 pounds

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Maiden name: Newby

Parents: Murnane & Beatrice Gilman Newby

Exclusions: 2, the 2 others are dupes


Details of Disappearance

Bonnie was living with her sister in Menasha while she was going through a divorce. Town police said her husband called a few days before her disappearance because he wanted to take her out for her birthday and talk about the divorce. The couple went to several taverns in the Neenah and Oshkosh area before heading back to the residence. Her husband told police that while en route to the residence, an argument ensued and Bonnie got out of the car near the intersection of U.S. 41 and the former State 150 to walk home. She has not been seen since.

 

David Repinski, her husband, has a long history of legal battles which you can read in the Websleuths thread. Please note there's some distractions about Laine Shields (Larry Repinski, he changed his names) and another murder which was later solved and had nothing to do with him. Stick to the articles :)

Details of Disappearance

The best information I can give you is this: Important, after speaking with DCI she is -not- the Janet Robinson of this divorce. There is almost no information given on this case, despite law enforcement knowing her middle name and DOB.

So if you look for her in records, be sure to rule out the other Janet Robinson.

Rudolph, Stacy Ann

SRudolph.jpg

Missing Since: December 2, 2000
Missing From: Medford, Jefferson County

Age: 13 years old

Date of Birth: November 14,1987
Sex: Female
Race: White
Height and Weight: 5'7, 125 pounds
Hair: Brown

Eyes: brown

Marks: a scar on her inner right arm near her elbow.

Piercings: Her ears are pierced.

Exclusions: 4


Details of Disappearance

Stacy was allegedly abducted by her mother, Lori Ann Krueger. Krueger may use the alias last name Rudolph or Verdone. A felony warrant was issued for the abductor on September 16, 2002. They may be in the company of an adult male (Bruce Verdone).

 

Before we get into it too much, I want to stop any rumors that I see floating around that dad staged the kidnapping. I've seen the letter and as a former divorce attorney, it rings true. She abducted Stacy.

 

Lori Ann Krueger/Rudolph/Verdone was not the custodial parent, and she along with her boyfriend/conspirator Bruce Verdone kidnapped Stacy. Bruce has his own issues with paying taxes. He has currently absconded from custody. Lori Ann has never given the same date of birth twice, but she has been known to use the date 12-17-1969. If so, she has also absconded from a tax fraud conviction. Obviously there's a warrant for her arrest for kidnapping Stacy.

 

But what about Stacy? Under any name, I can't find her. She would be old enough to find out the truth and was old enough when she was abducted to know her real name and dob. So where is she? I refuse to entertain the worst case scenario until we know it for sure.

Ruland, James

Missing Since: October 24, 1995
Missing From: Ripon, Fond Du Lac County

Age: 40 years old

Date of Birth: June 23, 1955
Sex: Male
Race: White
Height and Weight: 6'0, 160 pounds
Clothing: A green camouflage-print jacket
Hair: Brown, a mustache

Eyes: Blue, silver or gold wire-rimmed eyeglasses

Medical: Has two damaged fingers on his right hand and a plate implanted in the back of his head. He has scars on his forehead, his left knee and the back of his neck
Parents: William & Marcelaine Renninger Ruland

Exclusions: 8


Details of Disappearance

James S. Ruland was last seen October 24,1995.

Ruland’s sister reported him missing nine days after he was last seen. His vehicle, with the keys still in the ignition, was located at the Stretch Truck Stop, 500 block east Pioneer Road, Fond Du Lac along with the keys and personal effects.

 

From Charley Project:

 

"In the two weeks prior to his disappearance, Ruland got a new car and asked his parents, who lived in Florida, to mail him $2,500. They did so on October 16. On November 2, he didn't pick up his paycheck. Over a week later, Ruland's car was found. There was blood on one of the car tires, and cigars in the front of the vehicle; Ruland did not smoke.

Ruland's roommate in Ripon, Jerome Baier, cashed the $2,500 check Ruland's parents mailed him, and also used another check made out to Ruland, for $46,32, to pay the gas company on November 1. Baier was charged with two counts of forgery and one count of uttering a forged check. Investigators searched Baier's pig farm in 1997 but didn't find sufficient evidence to charge Baier in his roommate's disappearance.

In 2000, the message "James Ruland lies here" was found written on near the bathtub in the Ripon house that Ruland and Baier had once shared. Authorities investigated the writing, and Baier's sons admitted they'd written it there as A JOKE."

 

Vicap has a slightly different date missing and information: On Thursday, October 26, 1995, James S. Ruland was last seen hitchhiking in North Fond du Lac.
