Victim's Name: Monica Wickre

Case Information: Monica Wickre was murdered in Brown County in the Spring of 1993. The last time anyone saw Monica Wickre alive was on April 7th, 1993. Her husband didn't report her missing until April 22nd, 1993. A county wide search began in Brown County which ultimately led to the discovery of Wickre's body in the James River on June 16th, 1993.

Case Status: In the Spring of 2000, Brown County Sheriff Mark Milbrandt told Action News his department was looking at a possible suspect but that not enough evidence had been developed to file any charges against the person. Milbrandt did not identify who the possible suspect might be. Flash forward to early 2009, and Brown County authorities tell Action News, this remains an open and cold case. No arrests have been made.
