Summary: In the last episode I traveled up to Fond Du Lac WI to investigate the 1973 murder of 9 year old Lisa French. She was murdered by Gerald Turner, also known as the halloween killer. As hard as I tried, I couldn't find anything to really tie the two killings together, besides the fact that they both happened in 1973 and they both happened in Wisconsin. For this episode I look into another suspect that most websleuths point to. Dennis Brantner was born in 1953. He was a 5’10 and 200 lb long-haul trucker who originally grew up in Mondovi, Wi, about 20 miles from Eau Claire. He also had a history of violence against women. On August 22, 1990, the body of Berit Beck was found. Authorities determined she was strangled and suffocated. Her body was discovered in a ditch about 18 miles away from the Forest Mall in Fond du Lac near U.S. 41. Was Dennis Brantner the mysterious killer of Tina Davidson that has eluded police for 45 years? Or was it one of the two other long haul serial killers, Robert Ben Rhoades or Keith Hunter Jesperson? www.searchingforclosure.com
