Alice Langer, a 76-year-old White woman, was found dead inside her Wyocena, Wisconsin, home after family members could not reach her on October 6, 2022. A welfare check uncovered a gunshot wound to her head; she was found in the shower with a handgun on her lap and the scene initially suggested suicide.

Investigators later uncovered evidence that contradicted a self-inflicted death. Family members said Langer was right-handed but the gunshot wound was on the left side of her head. The medical examiner reported gunpowder stippling patterns inconsistent with typical suicide cases. Detectives learned Langer had been planning to leave her live-in boyfriend of about 30 years, 79-year-old Larry Manthe, and that their relationship was strained.

Forensic testing linked Manthe to the weapon and ammunition, and he was charged with first-degree intentional homicide. A jury trial in January 2025 resulted in a guilty verdict for Manthe. Does anyone have information about Langer’s life in Wyocena or the months before October 2022 that could shed light on what happened?
