The Franklin Police Department has been working for decades to solve a cold case involving the murder of Lyle Trudeau, who was found stabbed and with his throat cut in a ditch near a farmer’s field in 1986. Despite early leads and persons of interest, the case eventually went cold. However, new DNA technology is now being utilized to re-examine evidence and hopefully bring the case closer to resolution. Police Captain Jason Ireland emphasized the importance of teamwork and passing on information through generations of investigators in order to solve this “unsolved puzzle”.
Investigators are working to gather missing pieces of the case and are optimistic that the new technology available today will help lead to a successful outcome. The Franklin Police Department is urging anyone with information to come forward and contact them at 414-858-2643. The case, along with others, remains a priority for the department, and they are determined to bring closure to the families of the victims. The story of Trudeau’s murder is just one example of the continued efforts by law enforcement to seek justice for victims of cold cases in the community.
