The original story from Christine Rudy’s husband that his wife went missing after he
had dropped her off on the road side his six months pregnant was a little difficult to believe. Looks like many of our original thoughts and doubts were correct.
Christine Rudy, 21, of Thorp, was reported missing by her husband, Shaun Rudy, about two days after he said he dropped her off on Highway MM on Nov. 12. The couple, who were married in August, had been arguing. Christine Rudy was six months pregnant.
A pregnant woman reported missing by her husband was shot and dismembered and her body parts were dropped off a bridge into a river, Clark County sheriff’s investigators said Thursday.
Based on information that authorities have received, police believe the following occurred:
Chief Deputy Jim Backus said Thursday that part of the woman’s 
remains were found in a wooded area where Shawn Rudy said he last saw her.
Backus said she was killed Nov. 12 in the rural area about six miles south of Thorp and her body was taken to a rural Thorp residence where it was dismembered.
Clark County Sheriff Louis Rosandich said investigators believe the body parts were then dropped off a bridge over the Chippewa River near Jim Falls in Chippewa County. Those remains have not been recovered but searching continues, he said.
“We really don’t know if the body is in there or not. It is based on information we have received,” the sheriff said, declining to elaborate.
Although the investigation into the murder of Christine Rudy is not complete and her husband has not been charged with the crime, he is the prime suspect.
No charges have been filed in the killing. Shaun Rudy, 23, has been jailed on unrelated drug and weapons charges. Backus and Rosandich said Thursday that Shaun Rudy is the prime suspect in the killing.
“He will be charged,” Clark County District Attorney Darwin Zwieg said.

Shaun Rudy Accused of Shooting Christine Rudy
Clark County Sheriff Louis Rosandich says Shaun Rudy allegedly shot his wife, Christine Rudy, and dismembered her body.
Some of her remains were found in December. Rosandich believes body parts were dumped in the Chippewa River near the Cobban Bridge in Chippewa County. So far, nothing has been found there and more searches of the river are planned.

It’s been almost three months since the Teresa Halbach disappeared, but it wasn’t until today that everyone knew for certain whose remains were found on Avery’s Salvage Yard property. Today the FBI confirmed what we pretty much already knew in our hearts; the bones and remains found at the Avery Salvage Yard were that of Teresa Halbach.
Sheriff Jerry Pagel says the FBI confirms that the bones found at Steven Avery’s family salvage yard are those of 25 year old Teresa Halbach. The FBI report contained and confirmed the following gruesome findings:
The report from FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia says Mitochondrial DNA analysis of evidentiary remains found in a burn pit match the DNA sample of Halbach’s mother.
Investigators say they found Avery’s and Halbach’s blood in her SUV found on the property, as well as pieces of Halbach’s bones and teeth in a burn pit near Avery’s trailer.

Sheriff: Remains are Halbach’s
He said the FBI analysis “is consistent with the DNA analysis conducted by the Wisconsin Crime Lab, determining the charred remains found on the Avery property are that of the victim, Teresa Halbach.”
Pagel said no additional comments on the evidence would be made at this time.
Halbach’s brother, Mike, told The Post-Crescent the FBI findings confirm what the family already believed – but should still help in the case against Avery.
“It just confirms what we already knew at least a month ago when we saw the death certificate,” he said. “(The FBI and state Crime Lab) both came up with the same results. It should eliminate any talk about her not being out there.”
He said the family, which had a memorial service for Teresa in November, does plan to bury the remains when they are finally released by the court.
State Crime Lab scientists earlier had said the chances of the remains not being Halbach’s were one in a billion.

Chairo Garibay, 20, has been missing since December 11, 2005 on her way to church. According to authorities, the body of a woman who disappeared last month may have been found in Yuba County.
According to Yolo County Sheriff’s Department news release, local residents were driving their truck on a dirt road adjacent to the Western Pacific Railroad tracks north of Plumas-Arboga Road on Monday, when their truck became stuck in the mud. They called friends for assistance. And when their friends arrived, they discovered what they believed to be a human body wrapped in plastic in the remote area.
The witnesses contacted the sheriff’s department, which confirmed the discovery and secured the area until investigators could respond, the release said.
“Upon unwrapping the body, we discovered that it was, in fact, in all likelihood, Cheira Garibay,” said Yuba County Sheriff Virginia Black. “We believe the body has been submerged in water. She was wrapped in a tarp, a plastic tarp, and weighted down with chunks of concrete.”

As previously reported Luis Pagan was swimming in a strong current while on vacation in Mexico and disappeared. He and a friend were vacationing while on a school break in Puerto Angel, on the Pacific coast.
Mexican authorities have found the body of the Brown University student who disappeared while swimming last Thursday.
Luis Pagan’s mother said the Mexican embassy contacted her on Monday to confirm what his family and friends had feared – that a strong current overtook him and swept him out to sea.
“Its a loss for all of us,” said one of Luis’ friends Makini Chism-Straker. “He’s a part of the Providence community family.”
Luis’ mother told NBC 10 that her son’s body will be returned to Rhode Island for burial.

That is correct, FBI agents not only working along side and advising local police from Trinidad, but also helping in the search and actually finding the missing body of Balram Maharaj. FBI agents coming to the aid at the request and physically searching in an island in the Caribbean to help find a missing person. The FBI accomplished their goal and provided closure to a missing persons case on a Caribbean island. Seems the FBI is allowed to search and provide more than just advice and observe in missing person cases; they did in Trinidad and it paid dividends.
Balram Maharaj has been missing since April 6, 2005 when he was snatched from the Samaan Tree Bar in Aranguez. 
Maharaj, 62, a Trinidadian now resident in the US and a US war veteran, was snatched from the Samaan Tree Bar in Aranguez on April 6.
According to police reports, Maharaj, who was here on a two-week vacation, was approached by an armed man who bundled him into a waiting car.
A $3-million ransom demand was subsequently made for his safe release.
(The Trinidad Guardian)
The United States government also provided a reward for information and the safe return for Balram Maharaj.
The United States Government is now offering a US$10,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the safe release of kidnap victim Balram “Balo” Maharaj, and the arrest and conviction of his abductors.

Gail Masset, 38, has been missing since November 20 when her boyfriend said she stepped out for a cigarette and didn’t come back. Her body found in Waukesha County on Tuesday.
Gail Masset, 38, was last seen Nov. 20 when her boyfriend said she stepped out for a cigarette and didn’t come back.
Don Gerber came across the body while walking along Craig Avenue and Maple in the town of Vernon.
He walked about 10 feet off the road and noticed a body that he said appeared to be bruised and beaten.
The man said the body was lying face down so he couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman, but he did see the shirt partially pulled up exposing the person’s back.
Investigators aren’t sure of the cause of death but the body was said to be bruised.
“I looked and I saw a yellow shirt in there, and I looked through the brush into the weeds, and there’s a body,” Gerber said. “It seemed like a lot of bruises on the back and a wound in the head.”
