Catherine Falls Commercial/Getty Images(WEYAUWEGA, Wisc.) A Wisconsin man, 51-year-old Tony Haase, has been arrested for a 1992 double murder after police used DNA from a recent traffic stop to connect him to the crime. He told police last week he was in a "drunken stupor" and has "snippets" of memories of the crime, according to the criminal complaint. On March 21, 1992, Timothy Mumbrue, Tanna Togstad and Togstad's dog were found stabbed to death at Togstad's Weyauwega, Wisconsin, home, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The murders went unsolved for decades, even as police collected DNA, re-tested evidence, conducted interviews and executed search warrants, according to the criminal complaint. At one point Haase was identified in the investigation, the criminal complaint said. A DNA sample was taken from a pen Haase used during a traffic stop in July 2022, and that DNA sample was determined to be a match to fluids on Togstad's body,
A Wisconsin man pulled over by police for a traffic violation was later arrested for killing a woman and her boyfriend in 1992 as revenge for a deadly snowmobile accident that left his father dead.
