1 min read

MARINETTE, Wis. -- The Marinette County Sheriff's Office is reminding the public of an unsolved murder 36 years ago in the town of Niagara.

A hunter found David Hunner's body on Nov. 24, 1987, four days after he was reported missing. The 32-year-old from Green Bay was last seen alive Nov. 14.

Investigators believe he was killed at his makeshift camp set up in the Marinette County forest.

According to WBAY-TV, news reports at the time said he was killed with a small-caliber handgun and his guns were missing from his camp, including a handgun. Money was still in his pockets.

An article in the Green Bay Press-Gazette dated Nov. 28, 1987, said Hunner got around by walking or hitch-hiking. He stopped at a bar in Pembine a few times and was described as outgoing, friendly, and talkative.
