Before 8pm, they left the apartment for a short time. During that time, they tried to get cocaine. They returned to the apartment and went out again a short while later. They went for drinks at a bar called Allium. It was just across from the apartment block and they spoke to other people there. It looked like they had a great time. It was around 2. On the 12th of October, Kelly didn't show up for work and her coworkers tried to contact her but she wasn't answering her calls.
It went straight to voicemail. Kelly normally uploaded her movements on social media but there was no social media activity. Kelly was reported missing. Police retraced her movements. The last person she had been seen with was Kris. Kelly in Lafayette Tower after returning from a night out with Kris. Police spoke with Kris.
Things were not as perfect for Kelly as she liked to portray. For one, Kris wasn't her boyfriend. They weren't exclusive. Kris had a long term girlfriend, Meagan and Kelly was dating other guys as well as Kris.
Kris told police that he was with Kelly the night of the 10th but he also told them that she was with other guys too so they would need to look into that. She was active on a number of different dating sites. Kris answered any questions the police had. He said they often partied together and had a good time and described them as "friends with benefits". He said that that night was no different. They did cocaine, drank, had sex and passed out.
Kris said that Kelly left around 9 am and he knew this because he heard the front door close. Where she went after that, he had no idea but she had told a friend at Allium that she had the following day off and planned to take it easy.
Police had no real reason to suspect anything bad had happened to Kelly at that point apart from the silence. She had not used her phone, social media or credit card and that in and of itself was alarming. Kris was the last person they knew who had seen Kelly so they believed he may know more than what he was saying.
As Kris had told the police he did cocaine in the apartment, they were able to get a search warrant. They found drugs in the apartment-cocaine, marijuana, hydrocodone and oxycodone. On his phone, police found disturbing images and videos of Kelly. She appeared to be in distress and looked as if she couldn't breathe.
One video was taken just 3 weeks before she went missing. In some of the images, Kelly looked unconscious on the bed. They now knew that Kris was hiding something. As police searched the apartment, a number of things troubled them. In the bathroom it looked like the shower curtain had been torn down as the hooks remained.
Molly, the cadaver dog, was brought in to sniff for odour of decomposing human remains. She spent time at the top of the bed. As a result, police believed that Kelly was dead and died on the bed. Both were never found during the investigation. It is alleged that he left the body in the trunk of his car while visiting another woman he was having a relationship with.
It was the next day detectives believe he dumped the body in Jefferson County. Zocco is expected in a Milwaukee County Courtroom Tuesday to face charges.
Dwyer's family and friends hope the focus will be on her life and legacy, not on her gruesome death. Dwyer's memory lives on at the Sojourner Family Peace Center, a fund was set up in her name to help local women impacted by violence.
Inching closer, he makes out the back of a human skull. The whole skeleton is intact, save for a couple fingers. The right leg is rotated inward, and the left arm is grotesquely contorted behind the ribs and backbone. There are no clothes, only bones. Ones kept in Illinois are too outdated to be useful. Maureen is devastated by losing her daughter.
Maureen is not from Milwaukee. He begins to pepper her with questions hoping to tease out details. MAY 8, Zocco charged with first-degree reckless homicide, hiding a corpse, strangulation and suffocation. A few phone calls later, he hits pay dirt.
He poses no threat to the community, no risk of absconding. It depicts Zocco engaging in aggressive oral sex, with a blindfolded Kelly choking on him.
Police determine this sex act can be fatal. They look for women who engaged in similar activity with him. One woman says she took out a restraining order against Zocco after breaking up with him in Another woman tells detectives she was sexually assaulted by Zocco in Milwaukee after initially consenting to sex with him. Due to the nature of her allegation, her identity is kept secret.
But she accuses Zocco of breaking the rules both understood were needed to ensure her safety. A tap on the bed by Ms. She stifled the urge to scream, instead quietly begging Zocco to stop. He refused. That was the last time she saw him. Police have long believed the available evidence implicates Zocco. Kelly and Zocco are seen entering his building hours before all activity on her bank card, Facebook account and cellphone stop.
He acts strangely the morning Kelly disappears, and for the next 36 hours. And now investigators have a witness willing to testify about his threatening behavior during sex. As the calendar creeps farther from October , Assistant District Attorney Sara Hill decides that her second case against Zocco will likely grow no stronger.
People convicted of crimes often solicit letters from acquaintances to present before a judge evaluating sentences. These letters typically paint a picture of the defendant apart from their trespasses, in hopes that the halo of virtue demonstrated by offenders will elicit leniency. They paint a picture of a well-liked man whose personal ability marked him for distinction. These letters are the only public fragments that speak to the other Zocco.
He turns 44 this month. Neither of his trials featured him on the witness stand. Any trace of a social media footprint was vaporized long ago. The letters reveal young Kris traveled a lot. Raised in Connecticut, he made annual visits to his father in San Diego starting at age He also made multiple trips to North Carolina, where his grandparents lived.
They are big on redemption. Zocco wins people over. A social worker and mental health nurse attached to the county jail — both of whom met Zocco only after his initial arrest — praise his personality and lament the situation he found himself in.
