23 years ago Tammy Haas's body was found by a golfer.
19 years ago a jury acquited her boyfriend of manslaughter charges.
10 years ago a fictional version of the case was written.
A private investigator has been hired to solve the case.
Nancy Haas, Tammy's mother says, "Our prayer is that the ones who know what happened to Tammy will have the courage to tell so we may all receive the peace we need by knowing the truth."
The story:
Tammy and her boyfriend Eric Stukel, went to a party at a farm. Stukel told authorities the couple left the party and Tammy walked to her aunt's from his parents' house.
A golfer found her body days later in a ravine less than two miles from the site of the party. Her neck was broken, and she had other injuries that led authorities to conclude she had been killed and carried across the road and into the ravine in the trunk of a vehicle.
Tammy's hair fibers were found in Stukel's trunk. There was testimony that the couple was fighting.
The jury found Stukel not guilty. Why? A question the jury asked the judge shed light on the mystery. "Does the crime have to have happened in Cedar county for Stukel to be found guilty?" The judges reply: yes.
