  1. Women & Chipdren Horizon is closed, so the DV victims have nowhere to turn.

    Just a reminder that Clara Tappa, who allowed this organization to be run completely into the ground, is still the head of HR for Kenosha County.

    1. That’s exactly my thought!! I asked the Kenosha County Scanner the same question. Let’s see a picture of the suspect, so that residents and the community can help find this POS and bring him to justice for the murder of 2 innocent people!!

  2. Did the sister of the victim give police a description of the boyfriend? The community could assist in the “manhunt” if we had a little more information to go off of.

  3. Wouldn’t it be easier to find him if they release his name? They want the publics help but with no information to help kinda hard.

    1. Do you feel super special that you caught a mistake? As you should know from the details, she didn’t die until several hours after she was shot. When the story was published it said attempted homicide. Then when I found out the unfortunate news that she passed away I tried to remove all the words attempted but missed a couple. You going to go brag to all your friends now that you found something wrong on my page?; congratulations

      1. You took it personal, huh? Like.. why would you even write this? Did it really hurt your feelings? lol.. The best part is I read this in your super high pitch voice and it was even funnier.

  5. I am defending Kevin.
    Anne. Did you find any “i’s” not dotted?
    If you ever had to write for a living, and I did, mistakes and omissions will be made. Stories, reports often need updating. Sorry if the reporting is not perfect enough for you.
    Maybe the KNews would suit you better. They are professionals. (LOL)
    Maybe you can offer to be a KCE editor… You know, the story perfectionist…
