A Wisconsin man has been identified and criminally charged following an investigation into a kidnapping and sexual assault that occurred 39 years ago in Delta County, according to the Michigan State Police (MSP).
The MSP Manistique Post originally began an investigation in August 1986 after a female reported she was assaulted while taking a bike trip from her home in Lac du Flambeau, Wis. to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. She had stopped to use a public bathroom at the Big Fishdam River access off US-2 in Garden Township and when she exited the bathroom, she was forced at gunpoint into the suspect’s car. The suspect drove her around and repeatedly sexually assaulted her, eventually releasing her.
