INCIDENT REPORT: At approximately 8 p.m. 2000 hours on the evening of January 20, I was contacted by Detective Sergeant Dashelle Lamartine to report to the Covered Bridge Townhomes, 100 Tamarack Road, Black Creek, Wisconsin, Apartment 216, pursuant to the report of an individual found bludgeoned in her living room. I arrived at approximately 8:11 p.m. and was briefed by Detective Sergeant Lamartine. (Prior to my arrival Black Creek County Fire and Rescue responded to the scene including Captain Purvis, Captain Tran, and Fire Medic Probacyzk and Fire Medic Lucarelli.) I observed an injured individual lying facedown on the floor in front of the couch, head pointing north, feet south, a very large pool of blood surrounding the individual’s head and shoulders. Upon observation, this appears to be a woman between the ages of 18 and 25. A single large wound to the back of her head, the size of a man’s fist, seems to be the only visible injury. The skull displays a fracture, from which there is bleeding and bloody serum that have issued from the wound. The victim is wearing black stockings or tights, and a long sweater, probably white in color originally...on the floor adjacent to the body at a right angle is a Callaway Big Bertha Women’s Flex 9 iron golf club with what appears to be significant hair and tissue on the face of the club. Also present are a number of bath towels, also soaked in blood, a bowl containing what appears to be popcorn, a set of electric hair rollers, and a pillow in the shape of a pineapple.
Fire Medic Lucarelli had assessed that young woman did not have a pulse or any respirations. Sophia Smith, Black Creek County Coroner, confirms this.
Presumed perpetrator Stefan Paul Christiansen, 17
EXTERNAL EXAMINATION:
The autopsy is begun at 8:30 a.m. The body is presented in a black body bag. The victim is wearing a long white-appearing sweater, size S, black tights, size S, and pink ballet shoes, size 6, a bra size 32B and underpants size 5. Jewelry included two smooth-textured silver hoop pierced earrings, 1-inch diameter, one in each ear, and one 1-inch wide silver expandable wristband on left wrist with two charms, one in the shape of a cross and one in the shape of a star. Fingernails and toenails are painted a pale pearl pink. The body is that of a normally developed and nourished white female measuring 67 inches and weighing 119 pounds, and appearing generally consistent with the stated age of eighteen. The body is cold and unembalmed. The teeth are native and in good condition. The genitalia are consistent with a normally developed adult female. The eyes are closed. Irises are gray. Pupils are fixed.

The neck is fractured at the C3 vertebra. There is a depressed skull fracture of five centimeters of the occipital bone. Extruded brain tissue is observed. An abrasion of four centimeters to the left cheekbone appears sustained post-mortem.
