MURDERED: Stephanie Casberg

4/20/202651 min

In the summer of 1969, Stephanie Casberg walked out the front door of a Milwaukee restaurant after her waitressing shift — and was never seen alive again. Days later, her dismembered remains were found near a condemned bridge along the Root River, leaving investigators with a chilling conclusion: the work of someone methodical, skilled and patient.

More than five decades later, the case has led detectives from a co-worker who lied his way into the narrative to a convicted child predator who terrorized his family by claiming to be the killer. More recently, a Crime Junkie episode playing through a detective's earbuds while he mowed his lawn added a new name to the case file.

    And the story I have for you today is one that's hung over a corner of Wisconsin for decades. In the summer of 1969, a teenage girl walked out of a restaurant after her waitressing shift and was never seen alive again. What turned up later, scattered in pieces across Racine County, told investigators that they were dealing with someone who had skill, patience, and time. Since then, this case has pulled detectives in every direction, from a coworker whose own family has been pointing the finger at him for years, to a man who terrorized his children by claiming he was the killer. And just recently, a new lead surfaced, one that came straight from a Crime Junkie episode to one detective's ears. This is the story of Stephanie Kasberg.
