Murder in Wauwatosa by Paul Hoffman

Investigate the mysteries surrounding the brutal murder of Wauwatos's Arthur Buddy Schumacher Jr. A must-read for fans of true crime and Wisconsin history enthusiasts.


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.

In this engaging mystery, author Paul Hoffman walks us back to the scene of the crime and through the reasons it was never solved.
