On the night of November 2, 2004, 50-year-old taxi driver John T. Romberg was found in his cab on Fourth Avenue in Baraboo, Wisconsin, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. His death was ruled a homicide. Romberg was working when he picked up a fare that night; the passenger vehicle had become stuck and he was called to provide transportation.

Investigators later tied Romberg’s killing to a multi-day crime spree by Maurice Mason and his nephew Bennie Firer. The two were traveling with a woman, Jennifer Hitchcock, who was being held against her will; Mason shot Romberg in the cab in the presence of Firer and Hitchcock. The spree continued the next day and ended with Hitchcock’s murder in a remote area.

Maurice Mason was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Romberg’s death and later entered a no contest plea, receiving a life sentence; Bennie Firer was also prosecuted and given a lengthy prison term for his role in the related crimes. Did anyone in Baraboo or the surrounding area have contact with Romberg the night of November 2 who can add details about his last fare?
