Description
Argued October 26, 2000 James Madden was last seen alive during the early evening hours of June 26, 1990, in the town of Raymond, Wisconsin. Two days later his legs and torso were found in yellow plastic bags in a farmer's field approximately 3 miles southwest of the site of his disappearance. Madden's skull and arms were discovered 2 weeks later--also enclosed in yellow plastic bags--approximately 3 miles northeast of the disappearance site. Tests revealed that Madden was the victim of a vicious attack: his genitalia and several other organs were cut from his body; his ankles, wrists, and neck exhibited ligature marks; and fragments, consistent with metal bullets, were embedded in his skull. Madden's wounds demonstrated that the mutilation occurred both before and after his death. Prior to his disappearance, Madden was soliciting door-to-door for the Citizens for a Better Environment. Madden was last seen by the next-door neighbors of Joachim Dressler and his scheduled route would have made Dressler's home his next stop. Due to these circumstances, the fact that Dressler was home alone the night of Madden's disappearance, and Dressler's admission that he (at least at one time) owned yellow trash bags, the investigation focused on Dressler. Pursuant to a warrant, police searched Dressler's home, seizing a number of items including firearms, knives, saws, ropes, and bloodstain samples. In addition, the police seized a briefcase which contained videotapes, photographs, and magazines depicting murder and mutilation victims, as well as homosexual pornography. With these discoveries, Dressler became an even hotter suspect, but no arrest was made.
