Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. Here are the rules:
1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech, vulgar or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here. [examples: "cuzn" "tha" "dat" and so many more] Learn proper English! You should have learned it in school.
3 - Your comments must be all in English.
4 - I will also not allow Anonymous comments. This includes using anonymous, obviously fake email addresses (you@you.com, me@me.com, anonymous@yahoo.com, or fictional characters, etc.)
5 - ALL COMMENTS LEFT BY COMMENTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND THEIR OPINIONS. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. NOR IS THE BLOG OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR FEELINGS. STATEMENTS MADE AS COMMENTS ARE OPINIONS, GIVEN FREELY BY THE COMMENTORS.
6 - You must be 18 years of age or older to comment.
If you have a question or problem with this, please feel free to email me (there is a link to my email above).

It is possible to lill someone in Wi and get out in less than 20 yrs. I live in a small town in wis and we have have 3 murders and not one has been solved . I trully belive the police cover alot of shit up. In one case it was a little girl hit on a bike and rumors are it was the sheriff who had a drinking problem at the time. 2 weeks after her death he quit and went into rehab. Wis has some of the softest penalties for offenses and some of the worst unsovled crime records. It’s very sad to admit that knowing this is were I’m raising my daughter ,which maybe changing.
I live in a smaller city (about 50,000) in Wis as well and where I live, there have also been at least three unsolved murders. As for Ron Rickman, he passed away in prison in 2004 at the age 65.
This is a true story because I am the daughter and grand-daughter of the two men Rickman killed in ’62. There is no record of him currently in WI because he died in prison of heart problems 2 or 3 years ago. A lot of the story is made up. When they say that a movie is based on real life they really take liberties with it. My mother became friends with the real Corrine Kazmarek
(sister of victim) during the search and trial. Some very interesting things were left out.
Lert is correct in that Ronald Rickman died in prison. He died in February 2004, one day before his 65th birthday.
Lert is also correct in that a made-for-tv movie is loosely based on the facts and is more lights and camera than real-life action.
Most of the names were accurate. All but two. One was a woman who knew Ron when she was a teenager. The other was Ron and Yvonne’s daughter, Kristina. My name was Amy in the movie.
Bonnie, before you blog about something in the future, maybe you should get all of your facts together first. My family, and the other family members of those you blog about, would appreciate it.
Thank You.
Kris,
What facts did I get wrong on this? I did not write anything that is contained in the links that I provided. And what I wrote was my opinion after doing quite a bit of research. Nowhere have I ever seen your name connected to this case, so how could I have contacted you or your family? I am *guessing* from your last sentence that there must be another murder in your family, or I would not need to contact your family again. You have confused me.
