(Dane County, WI) — Police are releasing more details about a series of crimes that stretched from Dubuque to Wisconsin.
The Dubuque County Sheriff is investigating Alexander Grunke as a suspect in the death of his ex-girlfriend Tana Poppe. Investigators say Grunke was also having a relationship with Poppe’s 13 year-old daughter. Dane County Wisconsin police say the two fled with Poppe’s five month-old baby, dropping the infant at a home near Madison. Police believe the 13 year-old died of complications from diabetes after fleeing into the woods. Grunke committed suicide after a standoff with police.
Court documents show Grunke is a registered sex offender who tried to abduct the 13 year-old in January.
