Former Wausau Reporter Writes Book About Green Bay Murder

Link to September 11 Wausau Daily Herald article.

Excerpt: The work [as a reporter for the Daily Herald from 1985 to 1988] gave him confidence as a writer, and it put him on the road that ultimately led him to Wausau again, this time while writing a book about a chilling gang-rape and murder that features dogged lawmen, brutal motorcycle gang members and a 35-year-old victim who grew up in Montana.

The book, "Torture at the Back Forty," was released in August. It scrutinizes in detail the killing of Margaret Anderson the night after Christmas in 1983 at the Back Forty bar in downtown Green Bay. In the book, Dauplaise follows law enforcement officers as they track down the man eventually convicted of the murder, Randy Whiting, who was captured in August of 1984 outside of Antigo. Dauplaise will sign copies of his books Sept. 19 at two Wausau area book stores.

A search of the Wisconsin Valley Library System's V-Cat (online catalog) reveals that Duplaise's book is not yet available at any member library.

The Brown County Public Library online catalog shows 27 holds on 20 copies.
