The Devil You Know

I recently came across an article about the recent murder of a Catholic priest named Fr. Stephen Gutgsell in Nebraska that referred to the unsolved murder of Fr. Alfred Kunz who was found dead at his church in Dane, just a bit north of Madison, in 1998. 

Reading the piece reminded me of a fine podcast called "The Devil You Know" from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal about the Kunz murder.

I vividly recall the shock throughout the area when Kunz's body was found with his throat slit. Dane was (and remains) a sleepy little town that, at the time, had well under 1,000 people. Countless folks went on TV to express their shock and declare something like, "This kind of thing doesn't happen in small towns." Yet it did.

Do check out the podcast. It goes over the history of Kunz's murder and gives an update into the investigation.
