Dep.
DA Judy
Schwaemle and the Wisconsin Innocence Project reach
agreement for DNA
testing by the Wisconsin Crime Lab of the tissue
paper and Taco Bell
cup found near Sarah's body, the “rape kit” swabs
taken at autopsy, and
the underpants and jeans Sarah was wearing when she
died. Judge
Fiedler signs agreed order for testing.

Penny responds,
with
unanswered questions about the DNA testing -- why
promising evidence
was not tested, why the parts of Sarah's clothing least
likely to
contain her killer's DNA were the only parts
tested.

Prof. Pray writes
to
Penny, agreeing that the lab's efforts were poor and
more testing
needed to be done, this time at a private lab. He
tells her the
State will vigoroulsy oppose the motion, and he is
right. The
opposition drags out the process.

Wisconsin
Innocence
Project represents Penny to obtain DNA testing by Bode
Labs of clothing
and other items that seem the most promising to yield
probative DNA,
that is, DNA that excludes Penny and includes Sarah's
killer. The
bulk
of the costs were paid by generous people who
contributed through this
website.
Some DNA from the earlier round of tests was
destroyed. There
were
additional delays due to items being "lost" and then
"found," and
because no standard of Sarah's DNA had ever been
done. The items
tested were in poor condition, and the biological
evidence had degraded
over the years.
Once again, Prof. John Pray of
the Wisconsin Innocence Project wrote to Penny, telling
her the tests
were inconclusive and her case has been closed. |

Prof.
Pray has told Penny that if compelling evidence
identifying Sarah's killer can be developed, the
Wisconsin Innocence Project will re-open her case and
represent her in court. |
Anyone
who has read Who
Killed Sarah? or even reviewed
this website knows that we have a suspect initially
under suspicion by
Madison PD, during the time Sarah was missing but before
her body was
found. When Sarah's remains were found outside the
city, her
murder was under the jurisdiction of the Dane County
Sheriff's
Department, and they had only one suspect: Penny
Brummer.
It
is time to fully
develop the case against this suspect. Sarah
Gonstead, Kelly
Nolan and Penny Brummer deserve nothing less than
holding him fully
accountable, as do the other, vulnerable victims he
has assaulted over
the years.
We
have
recently received information from unexpected sources
that confirm
the suspect's connection to "one percent" motorcycle
clubs, which were
engaged in
territorial disputes over drug sales in Madison when
Sarah was killed.
We have located an outstanding private investigator, Suzanne
Eskola,
who is already
familiar with the case and enthusiastic about
developing this suspect,
following the evidence where it takes her. She
is one of the most
respected private investigators in the Midwest.
This is where YOU
come in.
Penny
needs to raise
enough money to pay for the expenses of
investigation, to
fully
develop the case against the man who killed Sarah
and Kelly, and who
has assaulted numerous other victims as well.
Without your help,
Penny could spend the rest of her life in prison for
his crime.
And the killer will remain free to kill again.
