BLANCHARDVILLE - Monte Tobin understands why the murder of his son remains unsolved five months later.
"When I saw the crime scene and saw what happened, I can see how it would be difficult to solve it," the West Bend resident said. "The crime scene looked as if they (the killer or killers) knew what they were doing."
While Green County Sheriff detectives continue to follow leads, Mark C. Tobin's family is turning to the public for help. They're offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved with the crime.
Tobin, 38, of Blanchardville was found dead in his home Nov. 21.
Green County Chief Deputy Jeff Skatrud said detectives have received some leads in the case, some solid. He said detectives are looking into other leads.
He said he couldn't say much about the case because it's under investigation.
Skatrud said there is information for the detectives to follow up on, but they don't know if the information will lead to any arrests.
He wouldn't describe the case as frustrating, rather, a challenge.
"We certainly would have liked to have solved it (by now)," he said.
Skatrud said detectives have conducted about 700 interviews. They have received assistance from the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation.
Tobin's body was found inside his house around 1:30 p.m. Nov. 21. The autopsy report indicates he died by a violent act, but the Green County Sheriff's Department has not released any details of the murder.
Green County Sheriff Randy Roderick said in December that Tobin's death in his house located at W7574 Wisconsin 39 was not a random murder and that it was drug-related.
For nine days, from Nov. 21 to Nov. 30, the house and area around the house was searched and investigated.
A search warrant is obtained to gather evidence. The search warrant remains sealed by the Green County Circuit Court. Skatrud said the warrant is sealed because the investigation could be jeopardized if information was released.
Anyone with information about the case can contact the Green County Sheriff's Department at 328-9400 or Green County Crime Stoppers at (800) 422-7463.
