Wayne M. Valliere Jr. was 25 when he vanished in late December 2017 after a day that began with a party in Lac du Flambeau and ended on a snow-covered road in a remote part of Iron County, Wisconsin. He was last seen on December 22 and was reported missing on Christmas Day. A weeklong search ended when his frozen body was found hidden behind a berm in the woods near Mercer on New Year’s Day 2018. An autopsy determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds and the death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators say Valliere had been traveling with a group in a minivan the night he disappeared. Court testimony and statements attributed to some defendants describe a confrontation on Swamp Creek Road where he was pulled from the vehicle, beaten, shot in the face, and then shot again as he lay on the road. Authorities allege the men then concealed his body in the woods; one man reportedly led police to the site. Does anyone have information about Valliere’s last movements or the people he was with that night?
