“Looks at the twists and turns in the investigation, possible
perpetrators . . . as well as some of the good that eventually came
out of this tragedy” (Wauwatosa Patch). In 1925, the peaceful
Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa found itself involved in mystery and
horror. Eight-year-old Arthur ‘Buddy’ Schumacher Jr. was last seen
by three of his friends after they hopped off a freight train they’d
jumped to get a ride to a nearby swimming hole. For seven weeks, the
community and state searched desperately to find the boy until his
body was found just a mile from his house with his clothing torn and a
handkerchief shoved down his throat. The police pursued several
promising leads, but to no avail. Includes photos. “Tosa
native Paul Hoffman reconstructs the case . . . and finds it more
than cold . . . He conjures up a picture of a much different
Wauwatosa than we know today.” —Shepherd Express “More than
85 years later, the murder of Buddy Schumacher remains unsolved. There
were suspects at the time and their stories and the cases against them
are included in Murder in Wauwatosa.” —OnMilwaukee
