On December 1, 1986, four young Burlington men broke into the Auctioneer’s Inn at 4614 Sheard Road in Dover. During an investigation, Racine County sheriff’s deputies learned the names of suspects. One of those people was Christopher Winkler who was 19 at the time. The charges were dropped again Chris 4 months later, others did serve time for the burglary. According to his family he would not have just left as he was very close to his family at the time of his disappearance and would return for dinner every night. A month and a half later, his mother reported him missing. He was last seen the night of Feb. 16, 1987.

According to media reports “Somebody has killed him, I just know that,” his mother, Jean Winkler, said at the time. To this day, sheriff’s investigators have the same hunch. “We believe he was killed,” Sheriff’s Lt. James P. Ivanoski said recently. “But all we have is a missing-persons report. We have no evidence whatsoever.”

The family laid him to rest. His funeral services were held at St. Charles Catholic Church in Burlington on Friday, February 13, 1998.

If anyone has any information relating to the disappearance and death of Christopher Winkler, you are asked to please contact The Racine County Sheriff’s Office.

eddie1 The family still waits for answers. His sister still after all these years misses her “big brother” and want justice. She has asked us to shared Eddie’s story in hopes that someone will come forward to try to help bring a small amount of peace to the family.

Around 10 p.m. on April 7, 1988, Caledonia police responded to the 7200 block of Lakeshore Drive in the Crestview subdivision . The call came in from a passerby who thought a boy had fallen off his bike, Caledonia Police stated.

An officer who arrived on the scene instead found a critically injured 22-year-old Eddie Gerardo lying in a driveway. Eddie was rushed to the hospital where he died of stab wounds.

According to a story printed in the Journal Times
Caledonia police launched a full investigation into Eddie’s death in 1988. They had a suspect in the case, but never gathered enough evidence to make an arrest. About seven or eight years ago police started a cold case investigation of the homicide. Investigators from their department and the Racine County Sheriff’s Department worked on nothing else.
