La Crosse Police Chief "There is no serial killer!"

Attempting to quash conspiracy theories about the recent river drowning in his city, La Crosse Police Chief Ed Kondracki said in a written statement “The previous river drownings have all been thoroughly investigated and reinvestigated by the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation and La Crosse Police Department, with a review by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. There is no serial killer!”

This is in reference to the Smiley Face Killer theory in regards to river drownings throughout the upper midwest.

Man attempts to rob La Crosse bank at drive-up window

La Crosse police are looking for a man they said tried to rob a downtown bank at the drive-up window Thursday evening.

The man walked up to the State Bank at 401 Main St. about 5:20 p.m. and passed a note demanding money through the window drawer, police stated. He claimed to have a weapon, though none was seen.

He fled east when he thought the teller tripped an alarm, police said.

He was described as a Hispanic or biracial man in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighing about 200 pounds. He had a thin mustache that extended just below the corners of his mouth, police stated.

He last was seen wearing dark-colored glasses, a khaki knit cap, a black puffy jacket and dark-colored pants or jeans.

Anyone with information should call the La Crosse Police Department at (608) 785-5962. Callers can remain anonymous by calling the La Crosse Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 784-8477 or text "laxtips" to 274637 and may be eligible for rewards up to $1,000.

Drunken man rescued from marsh trail (La Crosse)

By ANNE JUNGEN

A 39-year-old La Crosse man is being treated for minor hypothermia and possible frostbite caused by sitting on a marsh trial for several hours after drinking downtown.

Vincent Roh was found 100 yards south of 900 Monitor St. about 6 a.m. Wednesday after a law-enforcement based search initiated when a man reported hearing faint cries for help, according to La Crosse police reports. Officers searched parking lots and other nearby areas with the help of the La Crosse County Sheriff's Department's thermal imaging camera.

Roh said he left several downtown bars "plastered" about 2:30 a.m. and believed he was walking toward Grandad Bluff, police reports stated. He said he sat down on the path when his feet grew cold and then removed his shoes when his legs got cold, according to reports. He then believed he couldn't move his frozen legs.

Roh registered a 0.20 percent blood-alcohol level and was given a public intoxication warning.
